In the engineering sector, a Human Factors Consultant is dedicated to optimising human performance and safety through the understanding and application of ergonomic principles in the design of products, processes, and systems. To qualify as a Human Factors Consultant, one often requires a degree in human factors engineering, ergonomics, or a related discipline, complemented by skills in user-centred design and risk assessment.

Companies seeking a Human Factors Consultant typically expect candidates to have experience in applying human factors methodologies in an engineering context, demonstrating how their insights have enhanced system performance and user well-being.
