Due to the nature of the work undertaken, UK Citizenship is required for this position. To support the capability of our Human Factors Integration (HFI) work, we are looking to recruit a Senior Human Factors Consultant to join our growing team.

The team you would join is a multidisciplinary team of Human Factors Engineers / Consultants and others with a more Behavioural Scientist focus that have experience across multiple industry sectors such as Nuclear, Defence, Energy, Aerospace, Govt and Rail.

We are recruiting for an experienced Senior Human Factors Consultant, who has a strong technical knowledge within Human Factors and the ability to develop Human Factors strategies for complex projects, from both a technical and commercial perspective. You will be expected to be able to provide technical coordination and management on projects, both operating individually and heading up small technical teams, as required.
