A fantastic entry level Delay Analyst vacancy exists to assist a highly respected delay expert witness on an exciting variety of domestic and international disputes.


This is rare and exciting opportunity to get your foot into the world of construction disputes, working closely alongside a Who’s Who Legal (WWL) recommended delay expert. You will work closely with the expert witness and provide forensic analysis on numerous reports, all the time receiving training and support to develop your skills and capabilities.


As you will be working on international projects and disputes across Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, there may be occasional internation travel involved.


Project Details

In this Delay Analyst role, you will gain exposure to an exciting variety of disputes related work. Your primary duty will be to assist the expert witness in carrying out forensic analysis on numerous disputes at any one time.


You will establish facts relevant to the nature, extent and causes of delay to all stages of the construction process on a wide range of construction and engineering project types, including (but not limited to): residential & commercial buildings, rail, metro and transport, stadiums, oil & gas related projects, large scale civil engineering, urban planning, schools, hospitals, hotels, railways, airports, power generation and renewable energy projects.


So if you’re someone who likes a variety in their work, this would be the ideal role for you!


Types of work that you will gain exposure to supporting the expert witness on include:

  • Arbitration
  • Adjudication
  • Mediation
  • Litigation

Responsibilities and Duties

Your primary role will be to provide support to the lead delay expert in carrying out methodical and thorough forensic analysis related to multiple disputes. Specific duties may include but are not limited to:

  1. Compiling as-built progress data
  2. Investigating causes of delay
  3. Developing factual chronologies of events


Whilst working with the expert, you will develop your skills and experience in a structured way with the long-term view of training you to eventually be able to carry out the lead delay expert role independently in the future.


Desired Skills and Experience

  • To be clear, whilst this is likely an entry-level role into Delay Analysis, this is NOT an entry level role into construction. Candidates will require circa 5+ years of experience as a minimum in a relevant role such as an engineer, planner or project manager.
  • This experience will be gained working with a contractor or developer.
  • Hands on experience with construction management/ previous on-sire experience.
  • Noprior experience in construction disputes or expert witness work is required. Full training and support can be offered.
  • High quality of presentational skills, both written and oral. It is essential that all work generated is presented in a clear and structured manner (in the form of chronologies of events, internal file notes and spreadsheets), supported by clear cross-referencing to the relevant documents analysed. This is not only to ensure clear communication during the delay analysis process, but also to produce documents that can be used as appendices to the expert report that will stand up to scrutiny by the opposing party and Tribunal / Court.
  • An appreciation for the time and cost constraints under which expert witness work is carried out. This requires the candidate to manage work delegated to him/her to ensure the timely completion of tasks (to the quality expected) having regard to the overall timescale dictated by instructing solicitors / clients.
  • Ability to take on board, and react positively to, constructive criticism. In this regard, the candidate should be driven and passionate about developing their skills and delivering a high standard of work.
  • The ability to engage with confidence with solicitors and clients.
  • A keen desire to specialise in construction disputes and expert work.


Qualifications/Educational Requirements

  • An Undergraduate Degree in a relevant subject
  • An LLM/ Masters degree in Construction law would be advantageous, but not necessary.

The Ultimate 2025/ 26 Guide to Quantum Machine Learning Jobs in the UK

Quantum computing is hurtling out of the laboratory and into board‑room roadmaps. Over the past year the UK alone has secured more than £700 million in venture backing for quantum scale‑ups, IBM has unveiled a 1,000‑qubit processor, and Westminster has committed £2.5 billion to its National Quantum Strategy. As the underlying hardware scales, employers are scrambling to hire professionals who can fuse quantum principles with modern machine‑learning practice—creating a perfect storm of opportunity for early movers. Whether you are a physicist pivoting into software, a data scientist intrigued by qubits, or a CTO seeking rare talent, this 2025 guide demystifies the rapidly evolving market for quantum machine learning jobs. You will learn where the roles are appearing, which skills command the highest salaries, and how pioneering organisations—from banks to biotech—are already extracting value from quantum‑accelerated AI. Dive in and position yourself at the forefront of an industry set to reshape computing as we know it.

Rural-Remote Quantum Computing Jobs: A New Frontier Beyond the Big Cities

A Fresh Outlook for Quantum Computing Professionals Quantum computing often conjures images of advanced laboratories, cryogenic chambers, and major research hubs in sprawling tech parks or prestigious universities. Historically, London and other big cities have indeed been magnets for quantum computing start-ups and innovation centres. However, the tide is turning. With the accelerated rise of remote work and enhanced digital infrastructure, professionals in this trailblazing field now find they can shape the future of quantum technology from rural and coastal regions across the UK. At QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, we’ve watched a growing number of applicants intentionally seek out “tech jobs by the sea” or “quantum remote countryside” roles. The reasons are many: a desire for fresh air, a slower pace, reduced living costs, or the inspiration gleaned from scenic landscapes. Quantum computing might be at the cutting-edge of tech, but that doesn’t mean you must trade tranquillity for a daily commute in a bustling metropolis. Below, we explore why rural-remote quantum computing jobs are becoming more common, the benefits and challenges of living away from urban centres, and how to position yourself for success in this new frontier. If you’re ready to combine advanced research or engineering with the quiet allure of the countryside (or the coastal breeze), read on for actionable insights.

Quantum-Enhanced AI Jobs: What Happens When Qubits Meet Neural Nets?

Over the last decade, we have witnessed spectacular leaps in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. From self-driving cars to machine-generated art, AI has permeated our everyday lives. Meanwhile, quantum computing—once the stuff of science fiction—has progressed at breakneck speed, with big players like IBM, Google, and IonQ demonstrating quantum processors that promise exponential computational power. But what happens when these two revolutionary domains converge? Welcome to the era of quantum-enhanced AI, where qubits meet neural networks to unlock computational capabilities far beyond today’s digital norms. In this blog post, we are taking an early thought-leadership stance on a topic that remains relatively uncharted by the wider tech world. With competition sparse, this is an ideal opportunity to position yourself and your organisation at the forefront of a new wave. We’ll dive into the core concepts, examine why quantum-enhanced AI is considered a game-changer, and highlight emerging career opportunities you can seize right now. Whether you’re a machine learning specialist seeking to sharpen your skill set, a quantum computing researcher wanting to apply your expertise, or simply curious about the future of technology, this deep dive is for you.
