Solutions Design Consultant

We are seeking a Solutions Design Analyst to support the strategic development, expansion, and new-build projects across our business. This role plays a key part in shaping investment decisions by designing, modelling, and validating solutions that support business growth and operational efficiency . Unlike a traditional CI (Continuous Improvement) role that focuses on refining existing processes, this role requires a forward-thinking, strategic mindset —one that can work with limited or incomplete data and apply logical assumptions to develop robust business cases . You will be responsible for supporting the development of new opportunities , conducting feasibility studies, and modelling different expansion scenarios, helping senior stakeholders make data-driven investment decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Solutions Design & Expansion Modelling
• Support the design and evaluation of new developments, site expansions, and infrastructure projects, ensuring feasibility and alignment with business goals.
• Develop cost-benefit and scenario models to compare expansion options and support capital investment decisions.
• Assess operational, financial, and strategic implications of new sites, facilities, and capacity expansions.
• Provide input into key customer tenders, particularly where they relate to new capacity, site expansions, or development projects.
• Business Case Development
• Prepare structured, data-driven business cases for new builds, upgrades, and strategic investments.
• Work closely with Finance, Operations, and Strategy teams to ensure accurate, aligned data assumptions and forecasts.
• Present recommendations in a clear, compelling way to influence senior decision-makers.
• Data Analysis & Assumption Building
• Build Excel-based models, using existing data where available and supplementing it with external logic, benchmarks, and assumptions when data is incomplete.
• Identify key value drivers, risks, and sensitivities in business case models.
• Challenge existing assumptions and bring fresh thinking to investment and design decisions.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
• Work with diverse stakeholders across Europe, including senior leadership, Finance, Operations, Commercial, and external consultants.
• Engage with cross-functional teams to gather insights, validate assumptions, and ensure solutions are practical and aligned with business needs.
• Present findings in a clear, visually engaging way so that non-technical stakeholders can quickly understand the implications.
• Modelling, Excel & Data Visualisation
• Build financial models and operational forecasts to support investment and capacity decisions.
• Use Excel (advanced level) for scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and data interrogation.
• Where relevant, use visualisation tools to translate complex analysis into simple, actionable insights.
• Cross-Border Collaboration & Travel
• Collaborate with teams across different European markets.
• Travel within Europe as required to assess sites, meet stakeholders, and support project execution.

• Financial & Operational Modelling Skills
• Experience building models for capital investments, expansion scenarios, and cost-benefit analysis.
• Excel Expertise
• Advanced proficiency in Excel for modelling, data analysis, and scenario planning.
• Storytelling & Communication
