As a Consultant in our Continuous Improvement practice, you will work with our clients by:

• Assisting in the assessment of client operations through off-site data analysis as well as on-site process analysis
• Working with front line client staff on implementation of Continuous Improvement processes, systems, and disciplines.

Your engagements will be at the client’s site and will require weekly travel. A typical work week will have you departing home on Monday morning and returning home late Thursday evening, with Fridays spent working from home on project or other assigned work.

You will be a part of a team of Consultants whose job it is to deliver client projects. While our highly experienced team has an excellent track record of delivering extreme customer satisfaction in this industry, you will be expected to bring thoughts and ideas that challenge thinking and procedure, and drive our processes, approach, and methodologies to continually improve. Your enthusiasm and effectiveness will help grow our reputation, and thereby help us grow our business.
