Forensic Collision Investigator UK wide

The role primarily involves investigating the causes of road traffic collisions and other vehicle related incidents, tachograph route tracing, preparation of expert reports and, where necessary, presenting evidence at case conferences or in court. Travel throughout the United Kingdom and sometimes further afield is to be expected, and there is a requirement for occasional flexibility around the working day; for example to encompass night-time examinations when necessary.

To be considered for this role you will need to be organised and diligent, self-motivated, capable of working independently and have the ability to present complex scientific issues, both orally and in writing, to people with different levels of scientific understanding (lay persons, lawyers, peers etc.). Experience of working in the forensic arena and attending court as an expert witness would also be advantageous.

Consultants are supported by Logistic Administrators who assist with day to day case management, and by a designated Team Leader and Mentor who are on hand to help with any operational challenges. Continuous Professional Development is actively promoted through in-house knowledge sharing and participation in external courses where appropriate.

We are looking for a full-time or part-time Forensic Collision Investigator with experience of forensic collision investigation and sound mechanical and vehicular knowledge. Experience working with tachographs, and in particular using these for route trace analysis, would also be advantageous. The position can, experience dependent, be office based (Durham or Huntingdon), home based, or a combination of the two., Due to nature of the work we undertake, all applicants must have lived in the UK continuously for the past five years for security clearance due to residency criteria, and will be required to gain and retain security clearance which we will arrange.
