Project Details

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

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.

Whilst working in London, you will gain experience in supporting the lead testifying expert in carrying out Quantum related analysis on domestic and international disputes that are often heading for arbitration and litigation.

Responsibilities and Duties

This will be an entry level role into construction disputes and expert witness work. You will work closely alongside a Who’s Who Legal (WWL) 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 (but aren’t limited to):

Supporting the Arbitration, Litigation and Adjudication process Analysing big data. i.e. Analysing large quantities of claims documentation relating to the dispute and having the ability to quickly understand the key issues and components. Using Excel and similar programs to input and analyse quantum data relating to the dispute Provision of specialist expert advice to external clients Drafting sections of the expert report for the lead expert

Desired Skills and Experience

Candidates should have experience in Quantity Surveying. Exactly how much depends on the quality of experience. 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. Experience of and ability to operate Standard Forms of Contract Candidates should be well researched into the role of a quantum consultant and the career path that can be enjoyed from working within disputes and with expert witness. You must be able to demonstrate a strong motivation to move into a construction disputes role, as well as long term ambitions to progress your career in this specialist sector. Candidates should be highly methodical and analytical in their approach to work. An understanding of claims and how a claim is put together is advantageous, however candidates with little experience of dealing with claims will also be considered, as full training and support can be provided on this front. A high standard of written English is essential in order to be able to write sections of reports that may be used as evidence in court. Full training on the processes and procedures relating to construction disputes will be provided, however, candidates will need a strong foundation in written English. i.e. ability to write and present work in a highly literate and professional manner Candidates must present as highly professional in their demeanor and working practices

Qualifications/Educational Requirements

Suitable candidates will be qualified to Degree level (or equivalent) as a minimum. Membership of a professional body (such as the RICS) and / or higher education qualifications such as MSc in Construction Law are advantageous, but are NOT essential.

Negotiating Your Quantum Computing Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Reflects the Cutting-Edge Nature of Quantum Tech in the UK Introduction Quantum computing stands at the forefront of technological revolution—holding the potential to transform fields ranging from cryptography and drug discovery to climate modelling and finance. As a mid‑senior professional in this evolving domain, your expertise could drive breakthrough algorithms, optimise quantum hardware performance, or steer complex research initiatives. Given the unprecedented possibilities this technology unlocks, top-tier talent is in high demand, and employers often craft job offers that extend well beyond a conventional salary. Yet, many quantum specialists focus primarily on base pay when evaluating a new role. While salary certainly matters, it’s only one component of a multi-faceted compensation package that may include equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks designed for the unique demands of quantum research. By understanding—and negotiating—these additional components, you can position yourself to reap both immediate and long-term rewards that accurately reflect your impact in this cutting-edge sector. This guide unpacks every critical aspect of negotiating a quantum computing job offer. From exploring equity schemes that tie your success to that of the company, to leveraging milestone-driven bonuses that recognise breakthroughs in quantum algorithms or hardware, you’ll learn how to confidently pursue an offer that acknowledges your high-value contributions and sets you on a trajectory for success in the UK’s rapidly maturing quantum ecosystem.

Quantum Computing Jobs in the Public Sector: Transforming Government, Defence, and Research

Quantum computing represents one of the most revolutionary technological frontiers of the 21st century, promising computational capabilities far beyond the reach of classical computers. By leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, quantum computers can solve certain problems—like complex optimisation tasks or molecular simulations—exponentially faster. This paradigm shift is not only attracting attention from tech giants and research universities but also from the public sector, where breakthroughs can profoundly impact everything from national security to public healthcare and beyond. In the United Kingdom, government bodies, research councils, and defence agencies have been proactive in exploring quantum computing’s potential. The UK National Quantum Technologies Programme, significant investments from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and leading institutions like the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) are all advancing quantum technologies. As a result, quantum computing jobs within the public sector are on the rise, offering a unique blend of intellectual challenge, societal impact, and long-term career stability. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into why quantum computing is crucial for government initiatives, explore the key public sector organisations driving adoption, outline the typical job roles, discuss the skills and qualifications needed, and provide practical advice on finding and securing a quantum computing position in the UK public sector. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how you can leverage your expertise in quantum computing to shape the future of public services—contributing to national security, healthcare, climate modelling, and more.

Contract vs Permanent Quantum Computing Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Quantum computing, once purely theoretical, has become one of the most dynamic fields in modern technology. Innovations in quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, and quantum-safe cryptography hold the potential to transform everything from drug discovery and supply chain optimisation to secure communications and advanced AI. Across the United Kingdom, start-ups, research labs, and established tech giants are vying for quantum talent, driving up both day‑rates for contractors and salary packages for permanent staff. For professionals with quantum expertise—whether that is in hardware engineering, algorithm design, quantum error correction, or quantum software development—the question arises: Is it better to work as a day‑rate contractor, accept a fixed-term contract (FTC), or pursue a permanent position? Which path offers the most competitive pay by 2025, and which one aligns with long-term career aspirations? This guide explores the unique opportunities, challenges, and earning potential across these three types of quantum computing employment. By examining sample take‑home pay scenarios and broader considerations (like job security, IR35, and career development), you will be better equipped to decide which pathway leads to success in this burgeoning industry.
