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.

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present Quantum Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Quantum computing is one of the most advanced, promising—and misunderstood—fields in technology. While the science behind quantum algorithms, qubits, and entanglement is complex, your ability to explain it clearly is becoming a core skill for anyone pursuing a job in the sector. Whether you're applying for a quantum software developer role, a research position, or a client-facing solution engineer post, many UK employers now assess your ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences—especially funders, executives, policy-makers, and clients. This guide will help you structure your presentations, simplify quantum concepts, use effective visuals, and deliver with confidence. Because in quantum computing, how you communicate is just as important as what you compute.
