Procurement and Contracts Consultants

About Human Engine

Human Engine is a Financial Times top-ranked management consultancy with specialisms in strategy, change, digital, commercial and projects.

We started in 2018 because we believed the public sector deserved better from consulting – more personal, more human and more knowledgeable of the realities of modern public services. All consulting firms say they’re different – with a founding team that came from within the public sector, the Human Engine difference is that we’ve seen it, done it and been on the sharp end of change.

We are a small but quickly growing company that works with clients in local government, central government, the NHS, charitable and regulatory sectors. In fact, quickly growing is an understatement – we’re doubling the size of our consulting workforce and looking for exceptionally talented and passionate people to join us.

But business growth is just a means to an end. What matters most to us is creating a company culture where everyone can thrive and, in doing so, deliver outstanding outcomes with clients. A lot of companies say this – but with no shareholders to keep happy and no investors to pay back, we’re all about creating a culture where people are happy, fulfilled and can excel at work. Whatever the nature of the project, our mission is to help organisations and individuals to do the best work of their lives.

The Role

We’re looking for experienced programme and project managers to join our growing team. Our approach blends expert technical understanding of project management principles with a deep understanding of our clients’ needs and the practical reality of getting things done, often in complex partnership environments. We’ve supported organisations to deliver multi-million pound community grant schemes to complete major regeneration programmes.

We’re looking for people to join this part of the business at Consultant and Senior Consultant levels. You might have expertise in setting up PMOs and transformation programmes or experience of hands-on delivery of projects. We’re open to applications from a range of backgrounds – you might have previous consulting experience or have worked in project management or transformation roles in the public, private or charities sectors. What’s most important is that you can demonstrate outstanding project management rigour and real desire to learn in order to help our clients do the best work of their lives.

Consultants up to £45k

As a Consultant, you’ll play a critical role in delivering outstanding work for our clients on a day-to-day basis. You’ll have gained experience in a related role, demonstrated an exceptional aptitude for learning and be ready for your next challenge. This role might suit someone with 2-3 years’ experience in a consulting or public sector environment.

Senior Consultants up to £65k

Senior Consultants bring deep subject matter expertise and plenty of experience to help our clients achieve things they can’t do alone. At this level, you’ll be a seasoned change agent who will lead on projects, often being the client’s most senior regular contact. You’ll play a vital role as a subject matter expert on larger programmes – and our approach to matrix working means you’ll sometimes be leading these programmes, too.
