Is the word consultores the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "consultores" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental (European) Portuguese, there is significant vowel reduction, where unstressed vowels are often shortened or "swallowed," making the word sound more closed and consonant-heavy to a Brazilian ear.
