Graduate Consultant Intake

QR's reputation for product data management and consultancy has put us at the vanguard of transforming the automotive, aerospace, and robotics industries across the globe, as they seek to build better products and a more sustainable future. As a team, we are particularly excited to be supporting the development of some truly planet-changing products, including connected, electric, and solar vehicles and an increasingly diverse range of new technologies.

We are very proud to have been named in the FT's Leading Consultancies list for the third year running, and we have also made it onto the Forbes global list of the best Management Consultancies.

With more new and exciting projects in development, we are currently seeking to strengthen our consultancy project delivery team. If you are looking to kickstart your career in consultancy or project management, we can offer you interesting, exciting, and impactful projects, together with fast-paced training, mentoring, and a caring company culture that promotes flexibility, fulfillment, and work-life balance.

Quick Release Consultants deliver varied and complex engagements for companies looking to get their new technology to market faster and more efficiently. Every project is different, and our consultants are empowered to leverage their judgment and expertise to solve a broad range of clients' challenges. Usually starting with a diagnostic, these projects very often rapidly scale up into much larger hands-on, cross-functional deployments, blending analytics and reporting with project management and software implementation.

This intake is not just for recent graduates. We genuinely welcome applicants with all levels of experience on the team. So, whether you have just finished university, you are returning to work after time out, or you are looking for a new challenge in a new sector, the ongoing growth of our team means we have lots of opportunities to start your training as soon as you are ready!
