Digital Forensic Consultant – £50,000 to £75,000 – London (flexible hybrid)
APT Search
London, England
The Role
This position involves leading digital forensic investigations from start to finish, covering remote and onsite evidence collection, data analysis across mobile, desktop, and server environments, and producing clear forensic reports. Consultants also present findings directly to clients, translating complex technical conclusions into accessible, business-relevant language.
Skills & Experience
Candidates should have proven end-to-end forensic investigation experience, ideally from a consultancy or corporate setting. Proficiency with tools including Cellebrite, EnCase, FTK, X-Ways, and Magnet AXIOM is required, alongside strong knowledge of Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Cloud forensics experience is advantageous but not essential.
Who It Suits
This role suits an experienced forensic practitioner who thrives on autonomy and wants full ownership of complex, high-stakes casework. Someone comfortable communicating with non-technical stakeholders, at ease in fast-paced environments, and able to commute to central London one day per week will find this a strong fit.
