Job Description

Incendium are hiring!

Incendium Consulting Ltd is a 7 year young, thriving consulting business, supporting corporate clients across all industries with their real estate and facilities transformation projects.

Within Incendium Consulting, we have 3 main practice areas:

• Target Operating Model and Procurement
• Sustainability
• Strategy and change

We currently have c90 resources on client projects, split equally between employed and contractor and are looking to further expand our pool of trusted experts (preferably as full-time employees but we are very happy to discuss contracting too) to serve client needs.

At Incendium, we are part of The Instant group since 2019, a global workplace services business with 500 staff and locations in 18 countries. We pride ourselves on providing competitive packages and benefits, the best projects and opportunities and a people centric culture that is core to everything we do.

Who are we hiring?

We are seeking a highly skilled and energetic Workplace and Portfolio Strategy Senior Consultant (\xe2\x80\x9cSenior Consultant\xe2\x80\x9d) to join our team.

Your expertise and guidance will help our clients adapt to the ever-evolving business landscape while maintaining employee satisfaction and productivity and driving net zero carbon initiatives.

Working in a consulting business, we are client facing the majority of the time, we are therefore typically partly based on client sites, partly working from our own office (London or others in the UK and EMEA depending on your location) and partly working remotely. The balance between those 3 varies greatly depending on the assignment.

Project Management:

What are we looking for?
