A Solutions Consultant provides advice and recommendations on improvements to information technology systems. You might analyse software, applications or network security to determine user needs and current issues. Solutions Consultants may suggest ways to improve efficiency or increase productivity.
Solutions Consultants should have excellent communication skills and be able to understand client needs. You’ll need to have strong technical skills and be a good problem solver. Solutions Consultants should be able to work on several projects at one time and be able to work to given deadlines.
In Australia, a full time Solutions Consultant generally earns $1,920 per week ($99,840 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
This industry has experienced strong employment growth over the last five years. There are currently 30,600 people working in this sector in Australia and many of them specialise as a Solutions Consultant. Solutions Consultants may find work across all regions of Australia, particularly larger towns and cities.
