ASSET MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT JOB DESCRIPTION

Asset management consulting means owning the gap between what an organisation knows about its physical infrastructure and what it should do next. In asset-intensive sectors - utilities, mining, oil and gas, and transit - that gap carries real financial weight, because deferred decisions on lifecycle costing and maintenance strategy become capital budget surprises. The consultant here sits with senior client stakeholders to turn condition assessments, ISO 55001 frameworks, and reliability data into actionable plans. No two client environments are identical, and the role demands equal fluency in technical analysis and boardroom communication.

As the Asset Management Consultant, you are accountable for diagnosing infrastructure asset health, translating findings into lifecycle strategies, and guiding clients through the implementation of ISO-aligned asset management frameworks across utilities, mining, and industrial sectors. You operate across concurrent client engagements, typically working within a multidisciplinary consulting team while managing direct client relationships at the working and senior stakeholder level.

Career Impact: Chartered professional status, or active progress toward it through IAM or a recognised engineering institution, becomes a credible market signal in infrastructure consulting, and this role is one of the few that develops that credential through applied ISO 55001 delivery rather than coursework alone.

Business Impact: The reliability and capital investment decisions shaped by this role directly determine whether infrastructure operators in water, transit, and energy sectors replace assets too early, too late, or never, outcomes that cascade into service continuity and regulatory compliance for hundreds of thousands of end users.

Growth Opportunity: Consultants who build depth in reliability-centred maintenance, lifecycle costing, and EAM solution architecture are consistently positioned for senior advisory, technical lead, or practice development roles within infrastructure consulting practices.

• Design and implement asset management strategies and maintenance business processes for clients in utilities, mining, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.
• Conduct condition assessments, maintenance audits, and criticality analyses to identify relevant KPIs and develop lifecycle costing and capital investment plans.
• Facilitate workshops covering asset management plan assessment, gap analysis, RCM or MTA studies, and maintenance practice optimisation with client and OEM stakeholders.
• Develop asset registries, plant hierarchies, preventative maintenance schedules, and work management system implementation plans aligned to client site specifications.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and supporting documentation, including operational budgets, labour forecasts, and forward capital cost plans, for delivery to clients at varying seniority levels.
• Partner with senior client stakeholders to shape proposals, define project scope and effort estimates, and identify opportunities to expand advisory engagement.
• Monitor project delivery against timelines, budgets, and quality standards, escalating risks to the project manager proactively.
• Mentor junior consultants and provide on-the-job coaching in asset management methodologies and client engagement practices.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, applied science, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent work experience.
• 5 or more years of experience in asset management consulting or reliability engineering, with direct exposure to asset-intensive industries such as utilities, mining, oil and gas, or manufacturing.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of ISO 55000 or ISO 55001 asset management standards and their application in operational environments.
• Proven ability to conduct infrastructure condition assessments, lifecycle costing analyses, and maintenance strategy development.
• Experience facilitating client workshops, including RCM, gap analysis, or capital planning sessions, with mixed technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to maintenance data, asset criticality, and performance KPIs.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce technical reports and present findings to senior stakeholders.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and, where required, internationally to client sites.

• Chartered membership of, or active progress toward, a recognised professional institution such as the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) or an accredited engineering body.
• Experience implementing or configuring enterprise asset management systems in a client-facing consulting context.
• Exposure to reliability-centred maintenance methodologies including RCFA, FMECA, or MTA, and familiarity with lean or Six Sigma continuous improvement frameworks.
• Experience in business development activities, including proposal writing, scope definition, and client opportunity identification.

• Client deliverable acceptance rate, measuring the proportion of lifecycle plans and reports approved without significant revision.
• Asset management gap closure rate per engagement, tracking the percentage of identified ISO 55001 gaps addressed within agreed project scope.
• Workshop facilitation outcomes, measured by the number of agreed client actions documented and assigned per session.
• Maintenance strategy implementation cycle time, reflecting how quickly approved preventative maintenance schedules are loaded and active in the client's work management system.
• Proposal conversion rate for identified scope-expansion opportunities within existing client accounts.
• Typical tools: EAM platforms (commonly IBM Maximo, Infor EAM); data and reporting tools (commonly MS Excel, Power BI); diagramming tools (commonly Visio).

• Base Salary Range: $95,000 – $135,000 per year, depending on experience and industry sector
• Bonus: Performance-based annual bonus, typically 8–15% of base salary
• Equity: Uncommon at this level; profit-sharing or deferred compensation offered at some firms
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution standard
• PTO: 15–20 days annually, plus public holidays; some firms offer additional project completion leave
• Common Perks: Travel reimbursement, professional membership and certification support, continuing education allowance
