Spotlight: Management Consultant

A consultant is someone with expertise in a particular field who offers impartial advice to businesses, companies and organisations. Typically working within a larger consulting firm, you might travel to work with companies internationally or be based within a specific country or city.

As a management consultant, you might offer your suggestions to businesses on topics like company strategy, financial planning, mergers and acquisitions, insolvency or corporate social responsibility.

The term ‘chartered surveyor’ encompasses a wide range of specialties and career possibilities in an increasingly global market.

As a commercial property surveyor, you might be involved in the acquisition or valuation of a property, advising funds on investment strategy or managing the relationship between landlords and tenants. Working in planning and development, you might assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of a new building design or determine what land use is most appropriate for vacant land.
