Forensic Delay Analyst

Location: Fleet Street, London EC4 (Office-based)

 

We are seeking an experienced Forensic Delay Analyst to join our established London team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious professional to work on a diverse and challenging portfolio of disputes within a collaborative and high-performing environment.

 

The Role

The successful candidate will play a key role in the analysis of delay-related matters arising from complex construction and engineering projects, supporting litigation and arbitration proceedings. You will work both independently and as part of a wider team, delivering clear, robust, and well-reasoned expert analysis for clients and instructing lawyers.

 

Key Requirements

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

  • A minimum of 5 years’ experience in dispute-related forensic delay analysis.

  • A degree-level qualification in a construction-related discipline is preferable though not essential.

  • A strong understanding of established delay analysis methodologies.

  • Proven experience providing forensic delay analysis for litigation and/or arbitration proceedings.

  • Excellent written English and first-class report writing skills.

  • The ability to organise large quantities of evidence and draw clear, defensible conclusions from complex factual scenarios.

  • Familiarity with industry-standard programming software, such as Primavera, Asta Powerproject, and MS Project.

  • A strong work ethic, resilience under pressure, and the ability to manage competing deadlines.

  • Flexibility to work across multiple matters simultaneously, whether leading assignments, contributing to larger team projects, or a combination of both.

 

Personal Attributes

This role will suit a proactive and motivated individual who thrives on responsibility, values high-quality technical work, and enjoys collaborating within a dynamic team environment.

 

Additional Information

  • The role is office-based in London, with occasional travel (both domestically and internationally) as required.

  • Candidates must be comfortable working with limited day-to-day supervision and capable of building the confidence of clients and instructing solicitors.

  • A legal qualification is not required, but a strong appreciation of the legal context in which forensic delay analysis is undertaken is essential.

  • Applicants must be UK residents.
