The Team

KPMG's Infrastructure Advisory Group in the UK consists of over 380 professionals and is widely recognised as one of the world's leading independent financial and business advisers in infrastructure.

The group has won many awards, including financial advisor of the year (Infrastructure Journal).

The group has locations in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Manchester, but is organised on a national basis, operating under a single national cost centre.

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.

We also work closely with other functions within KPMG to advise clients on mergers and acquisitions, valuations, tax, accounting, and due diligence.

The utilities sector is a key business area for the Infrastructure Group and encompasses work for the large clients in the sector including all of the leading UK energy and water companies as well as some of largest utilities in the EU and beyond.

We are widely recognised by many industry stakeholders as one of the most innovative advisors influencing the future of the sector.

As the sector continues to evolve, we are growing our proposition further, specifically relating to the role that the energy transition brings both in the opportunities for our clients and in the range of products and services that we can offer.

You will be leading the delivery of proposals and key projects. This will include delegating tasks to team members, constructing project plans, managing client interactions, tracking budgets, and complying with the company's risk processes.
You will need to be comfortable managing, coaching, and mentoring junior staff on specific projects, and agile in terms of working with different teams within KPMG.
You will maintain a good technical understanding of the key sectors across all power and utilities vectors, in particular the energy and water sectors including energy production, transport and end use as well as policy, regulation, subsidies and commercial structures.
