(01) — Why Join Us

A consultancy where your contribution is visible from day one.

At October Projects you’re not a number. We’re a boutique consultancy — deliberately lean — which means that every team member has real responsibility, real client contact and a real say in how we develop as a business.

We combine the personal, collaborative culture of a close-knit team with the breadth and complexity of work you would expect from a much larger firm. Our projects span public sector, private development and residential — giving you variety, depth and the opportunity to grow across disciplines.

We invest in people who share our values: integrity, genuine care for clients and a commitment to getting it right. In return, we offer a collaborative, supportive environment where your growth matters as much as the project does.

Senior exposure from the start Work side by side with senior consultants on real projects from day one — no years spent waiting in the background.
Collaborative, human culture Approachable, honest and easy to work with — the same values we bring to clients, we bring to each other.
Varied, complex project work From infrastructure and retail to care homes, logistics and residential refurbishments — no two projects are the same.
Real professional development We support your growth — whether that’s chartership, specialist training or expanding your service expertise.
Social responsibility We hold team and social events as well as charity fundraising and volunteering activities — because a good firm is built on more than billable hours.

(02) — What We Look For

The qualities that define an October Projects professional.

01

Integrity & honesty

We tell clients the truth — even when it’s difficult. We look for people who lead with honesty and hold themselves to the highest professional standards.

02

Attention to detail

Excellence in cost management, project control or surveying isn’t optional — it’s expected. We look for people who take real pride in getting the detail right.

03

Approachable by nature

Our clients tell us we’re highly personal and easy to work with. We need people who bring warmth, clear communication and real collaboration to every interaction.

04

Client-first mindset

We’re a small and agile firm — which means every team member is visible to clients and responsible for their experience. A real commitment to putting the client first is essential.
