consultative/ consulting

"Is it correct to say to a consultative role in this context, or only a consulting role is the correct answer?"
It seems I may not have been clear enough in my answer. Yes, of course it's OK to say "a consultative role in this context" and this would be my preference as I think there is a slight nuance of meaning between that and "consulting role" (which could also be used BTW). To me, "consultative" implies more hands-on consultation, with more meetings, reports, etc. taking place and suggestions made, all of which is necessary for a school project. That's why it's my preferred word HERE.
