Associate Technical Consultant (Graduate)

Role: R&D Associate Technical Consultant (Graduates)
Location: Manchester, Northampton & Dublin
Salary: Negotiable + performance-based bonus

CBTax is an award-winning, global R&D tax consultancy firm with offices in Manchester and Northampton in the UK, Dublin serving the Republic of Ireland, and our newest locations in New York and Dubai supporting the US and Middle Eastern markets.

As one of the fastest-growing firms in our sector, we specialise in R&D Tax Relief, partnering with businesses across many sectors including engineering, technology, manufacturing, construction, energy, science, agriculture, and food & beverage to deliver robust claims, commercial value, and fully compliant advice.

We’re looking for high-performing, commercially minded problem-solvers who want to make a tangible impact. There has never been a more exciting time to join CBTax as we continue our international growth.

About the role:

At CBTax, our R&D Technical Consultants work directly with innovative businesses globally, translating complex technical work into powerful, compliant R&D tax relief claims. From engineering and software to life sciences and manufacturing, we're helping clients unlock funding and push the boundaries of innovation.

If you’re a recent STEM graduate and enjoy understanding how things work, solving problems, and explaining technical concepts clearly — this is your opportunity to do all of that in a commercially impactful role.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Work directly with clients to uncover and assess eligible R&D activities

  • Conduct technical interviews and on-site visits with R&D teams, engineers and scientists

  • Analyse complex technical processes and write compelling technical reports

  • Partner with tax and compliance teams to ensure high-quality submissions

  • Keep up to date with guidelines to ensure all technical content is audit-ready

  • Advise clients on best practices for documentation and record-keeping

What We're Looking For:

  • A STEM degree or a related technical discipline

  • Strong analytical and technical writing skills

  • Ability to distil complex concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Commercial awareness and confidence in client-facing conversations

  • Curiosity, problem-solving mindset, and attention to detail

  • A full driving licence is a must-have for this role.

Benefits & Perks (UK and Irish benefits differ slightly. Ask for details):

  • Bonus: Performance-linked bonus scheme

  • Pension: Company pension contribution

  • Healthcare: Private healthcare cover

  • Tech Scheme: Access to the latest devices via salary sacrifice

  • Flex Benefits: Flexible benefits package tailored to you

  • Employee Incentives: Regular team incentives, socials, and recognition events

  • Recognition: A culture that celebrates wins and rewards high performance
