The term most people here would use for your job is “contractor”, not “consultant.”
A consultant, in most people’s minds, is someone they would consult with, who would tell them what to do, in an advisory capacity; not someone who would actually do any kind of work. (In other words, a management consultant.)
The only people who use the term differently are consulting firms themselves, because they think “consultant” sounds fancier (and worth paying more for!) than “contractor.”
- epolanski 29d agoMaybe you're right, my language has no such distinction (Italian) it's one term.
- thereforegrin 29d agowouldn't that just be: "subappaltatore - una persona incaricata di svolgere un lavoro"?
- epolanski 29d agoSubappaltatore means subcontractor. When a contractor hires a second contractor to do part of, or all, the work. But appaltatore isn't strictly a contractor in the generic term either, its mostly related to win a "gara d'appalto", so winning a tender.
