A rare and exciting opportunity for a Quantity Surveyor with a minimum of 3 years of experience to join a leading international construction disputes and expert witness consultancy in an entry-level Quantum Consultant job role.

Do you have a desire to make your first move into a specialist construction disputes role? If so, this is a great opportunity to begin a rewarding career in the world of construction disputes.

You will work in a supporting role, using your Quantity Surveying and technical knowledge to support a leading expert witness in carrying out the quantum analysis for major worldwide disputes and construction and engineering projects.

Although some claims experience is desirable, this is an entry-level position into the world of construction claims and disputes, so full training can be offered.

This Quantum Consultant job role is based in Central London and can offer home working for a few days a week.

You will work for a large, multi-national and multi-disciplinary consultancy that specialises in a number of areas including construction disputes and construction and engineering expert witness work.

Responsibilities and Duties

This will be an entry-level role into construction disputes and expert witness work. You will work closely alongside a recognised expert witness and provide them with support in analysing data and correlating sections of reports in relation to disputes on projects that are preparing for arbitration or litigation.

Specific duties will include:

  • Maintain and organize electronic databases, spreadsheets, and files as required by project demands.
  • Assist in analysing and evaluating claims and counterclaims, such as variations, loss and expense claims, termination claims, liquidated damages, and disruption.
  • Utilize creative problem-solving and effectively apply software tools, analytical techniques, and computer models to develop practical solutions.
  • Work collaboratively within a team to meet client deadlines and deliver high-quality results.
Desired Skills and Experience
  • Candidates should have a minimum of 3 years of experience as a Quantity Surveyor.
  • Knowledge of contracts, entitlements, and final accounts is most important. You should be able to carry out the vast majority of the typical duties and responsibilities of a QS, also including procurement, valuation, and measurement work.
  • Proven capability with MS Excel and/or other analytical software.
  • Demonstrate strong verbal and written communication skills.

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.

Quantum Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Quantum Department

Quantum computing has shifted from lab curiosity to the next frontier of high-impact computing. Across the UK, universities, national labs, start-ups, and established tech and finance firms are building quantum teams to explore algorithms, design hardware, and deliver quantum-ready software. As momentum grows, so does the need for clear, robust team structures. Because quantum R&D spans physics, engineering, computer science, and product, ambiguity about who does what can slow progress, increase risk, and inflate costs. This guide maps the typical roles in a modern quantum computing department, how they collaborate across the research-to-product lifecycle, skills and backgrounds UK employers expect, indicative salary ranges, common pitfalls, and practical ways to structure teams that move fast without breaking science.
