Project Details

The client has a small number of highly reputable lead testifying experts that provide quantum and delay related expert witness services in the global construction industry.


This position is to work within the quantum division of the business where you will gain exposure to disputes related work on a global scale. You will carry out quantum analysis (under guidance of the expert) on major projects potentially across all sectors of the industry, which are in dispute and preparing for arbitration or litigation.


Despite projects potentially being located globally, this is an office-based role in London, with no travel required to site.

Responsibilities and Duties

Your primary role will be to support the lead testifying expert in carrying out quantum analysis relating to individual disputes. You will receive clear and concise instructions on what analysis you are to carry out and will be expected to perform this and give detailed results back to the lead expert to include in their expert report on which they will testify upon in court.


Specific day-to-day duties include:

Taking details of the dispute that can come in the form of an email, a contract, a report, claims documentations, spreadsheets etc. and taking the relevant information from various sources, to arrange in a more structured way for analysis.


Forensically analyse quantum data related to the dispute, specifically looking for specific irregularities (often instructed by the expert) and look for examples of negligence
You may be asked to present your findings in report form to the lead expert or another member of the senior management team
Carry out all such analysis as an independent consultant, free from bias towards either party involved in the dispute

Desired Skills and Experience

Methodical and high attention to detail in your working practices as well as the ability to be incredibly accurate in your recordings and written work


Several years of experience working in a Quantity Surveying or similar commercial role within construction, ideally for a reputable company on complex projects
Excellent report writing skills (i.e. Presentable, NO spelling/punctuation mistakes etc.)
Highly proficient in the use of MS office packages, especially MS Excel which is used on a daily basis
Whilst exposure to construction disputes could be advantageous, it is not essential for candidates able to demonstrate a high level of understanding for disputes and the expert witness role and wanting a long term career in this niche sector

Qualifications/Educational Requirements

Full professional membership to the RICS or similar equivalent professional body is essential to carry out this role.

Employing Company Overview and Profile

The hiring company is a medium sized, highly reputable expert witness consultancy with multiple industry recognised quantum and delay experts. Due to their reputation within the construction disputes market, they regularly attract work on some of the largest and most complex disputes in the World. This is a fantastic role which would suit any genuinely passionate Quantity Surveyor wanting to start a long-term career working in support of industry leading testifying experts.

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.

Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

Quantum computing is no longer a future concept—it’s a fast-growing industry with real-world applications in materials science, cryptography, optimisation, and drug discovery. As the UK doubles down on its National Quantum Strategy, demand for quantum computing talent is surging across academia, startups, and enterprise R&D. Welcome to the Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the programming languages, frameworks, libraries & platforms shaping the UK quantum jobs market. Whether you’re transitioning from physics, software engineering or data science, this radar shows you what to learn to stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK: 2025 Guide to Hidden Roles

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.
