The Group

KPMG's Infrastructure Group in the UK consists of over 200 professionals and is widely recognised as one of the world's leading independent financial and business advisers in infrastructure.

We provide in-depth advice on the strategic, financial, regulatory and commercial issues driving investments in infrastructure across Transport, Power & Utilities, and Social Infrastructure in the UK and internationally.

Our work includes market and policy design, economic analysis, deal structuring and execution, as well as strategic and transaction advice to enable private and public capital to fund infrastructure.

The utilities sector is a key business area for the Infrastructure Group and encompasses work for the large clients in the sector including all the leading UK energy and water companies.

We provide in-depth strategic and technical advice on corporate finance issues, corporate financial management; regulatory finance, regulatory policy, business and financial planning, as well as other issues affecting value.

The Role

Your work will focus on cost efficiency but you will also provide support more broadly to the Power & Utilities team on economic regulation and policy development.

Our clients seek expert advice relating to cost benchmarking and cost assessment more broadly (for example cost benefit analysis of major projects).

Our approach to benchmarking typically involves econometric models comparing costs across companies.

The projects that you will advise on will be high profile and varied.

In recent years we have advised nearly every water and energy network company on their price control reviews, been the lead advisor on several CMA appeals in both the water and gas distribution sectors, and advised on major transactions within the sectors.

This a senior position that involves a combination of report drafting, engaging with clients, and delivering and/or interpreting econometric analysis.

You will be expected to be involved in the management of projects and to take a lead in developing proposals and other business development activities.

You will also take a key role in developing the consulting skills of more junior staff.

We are looking for someone with cost assessment experience and detailed knowledge of the regulatory framework of the water and energy sectors in the UK.

You will have experience of managing medium size project teams, liaising with and presenting to clients/stakeholders and business development.

Ideally you will be highly skilled in quantitative economic analysis, with particular knowledge and experience of cost assessment and have good knowledge and experience of statistics and econometrics.

You will be an independent thinker with the ability to identify problems and contribute to the development of solutions, helping us to remain at the cutting edge of innovative thinking in the sector
