OK, so I’m in the process of searching for a new job. I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering, and 5 years of experience as an engineer.
I know that the Big Four consulting firms hire engineers as consultants. After searching their job listings, I found one that looked interesting. The Job title and Responsibilities are posted below.
I’ve read the responsibilities part several times, and I still can’t make much out of it. There’s lots of nebulous duties like “serve as a resource” and “provide working level knowledge.” But what does a consultant actually do on a day to day basis?
Job Title: Associate/Sr. Associate, Risk Management, Aerospace & Defense
Responsibilities::
• Provide working-level knowledge within A&D and highly engineered manufacturing operations and/or supply chain functions; demonstrate experience in executing process and strategy improvement; provide value to clients by assisting with process transformation, improved operational performance, and organizational realignment
• Serve as a resource and key team member in client projects, and support progress against project milestones to help ensure timely delivery of project deliverables
• Demonstrate solid written and oral communication skills, such as status reporting, briefings, and one-on-one interfacing across multiple-level and cross-functional client representatives
• Contribute to the development and publication of thought leadership solution offerings
• Assist leadership in the creation of proposals, other business development activities, and practice administration
