You will work closely alongside a Who’s Who Legal (WWL) recommended delay expert. You will work closely with the expert witness and provide forensic analysis on numerous reports, all the time receiving training and support to develop your skills and capabilities, whilst also working independently and managing your own work.

The client’s office is in central London and the employer is happy to discuss flexible working arrangements, which will include regular days in the office as well as some home working where appropriate.

Responsibilities and Duties

  • Acting as the lead assistant to the expert witness in arbitrations and adjudications.
  • Independently writing expert reports.
  • Acting on behalf of employer and contractor bodies in both international and UK domestic markets.
  • Understand major retrospective and prospective methods of delay analysis and apply them in a robust and effective manner to establish and analyse the nature, cause and extent of critical and non-critical path delays to projects.

Desired Skills and Experience

  • Approximately 5 years of experience in this niche industry with a dispute specialist doing delay work, as well as a foundation in planning, engineering or project management.
  • Experience in adjudications, arbitrations and mediations.
  • Experience in using programming software including Primavera and Asta Powerproject.
  • An appreciation of the common methods of delay analysis, as set out in the Society of Construction Law Delay and Disruption Protocol.

It is essential that all work generated is presented in a clear and structured manner (in the form of chronologies of events, internal file notes and spreadsheets), supported by clear cross-referencing to the relevant documents analysed. This is not only to ensure clear communication during the delay analysis process, but also to produce documents that can be used as appendices to the expert report that will stand up to scrutiny by the opposing party and Tribunal / Court.
  • An appreciation for the time and cost constraints under which expert witness work is carried out. This requires the candidate to manage work delegated to him/her to ensure the timely completion of tasks (to the quality expected) having regard to the overall timescale for the delay analysis dictated by instructing solicitors / clients.
  • The ability to engage with confidence with solicitors and clients.
