Sounds exciting! What will I be doing on a day-to-day basis?

First and foremost, you will lead work on the design and development of medical devices as part of multi-disciplinary teams. As a mechanical consultant you will cover a bit of everything; from initial brainstorming and prototyping, to detailed design, engineering analysis, testing and onsite client meetings. By taking clients requirements and turning them into mechanical solutions you will play a vital role in helping them deliver on their products ie. Life saving drugs, and in turn will collaborate with internal project teams to work out how to best meet the project needs.

Okay so I’m new to consultancy, what makes a good one?

Great question! This consultancy work on the premise that all of their staff are methodical problem solvers with excellent analytical skills, including gathering of data and analysis.
