Job Opportunity: Junior Consultant (Full-Time, Hybrid)

Fluere is seeking a driven, energetic, and ambitious individual who is passionate about improving how things work. The ideal candidate will be curious, analytical, and hands-on—someone who thrives in dynamic, change-focused environments and wants to make a real difference in UK manufacturing.

This full-time, hybrid role offers the opportunity to grow skills, work directly with clients, and contribute to meaningful operational improvements.

The Perfect Candidate Will Tick These Boxes:

• A people person who genuinely enjoys engaging with others.

• Organised, reliable, and hardworking, with a track record of getting things done.

• Strongly motivated to make an impact on UK manufacturing.

• Enthusiastic about problem solving, generating solutions, and seeing them through.

What the Role Involves

Overall responsibilities include:

• Shadowing experienced consultants to build consulting skills on live projects.

• Learning and applying effective tools to identify problems, solve them, and drive performance.

• Engaging in real improvement work, not just theory.

• Building strong relationships with both clients and teammates.

• Progressing through a structured development pathway, including official LCS certification, with training, coaching, and hands-on learning.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Observing manufacturing operations to understand how processes work in detail.

• Participating in client workshops, contributing ideas, and capturing key insights.

• Collecting and analysing data to identify issues and opportunities others may overlook.

• Supporting process redesign and operational streamlining, ensuring recommendations lead to action.

• Assisting project managers in keeping projects on track and running smoothly.

• Helping to produce reports, dashboards, and presentations that demonstrate impact.

• Contributing to internal projects, systems, and business development initiatives.
