Openings for a consultant usually mean something more like "management consultant" rather than technical consultant. Usually as a technical consultant you find people who want to build something and then guide them through the process. It can be semi-challenging to find your first client for this sort of project because these clients don't know what they're looking for and often don't know how much they don't know. Once you have your first successful client like this though, others will find you fast.
