Company Description

PA's expertise has paved the way for our clients to invest over £500 billion in power generation, electricity infrastructure and utilities.

That's because we understand the impact that the clean energy transformation has on these investment opportunities and their related business models and strategy.

We help clients achieve their objectives by harnessing the power of human ingenuity.

Job Description:

Become part of a great team doing impactful work
In a world with ever more complex challenges, companies are looking to optimise their infrastructure and networks to deliver on challenging, conflicting requirements (i.e. net zero, affordability and an acceptable risk position) and we are helping these clients find ingenious ways to achieve this outcome including through the use of new and innovative technologies and digital advancements.

Our clients own some of the world's most interesting and critical physical infrastructure and vary in asset management maturity.

We help those new to the concept of asset management understand the fundamental building blocks of good asset management, helping them advance quicker with learnings from other sectors and industries, and we help those more mature organisations push the boundaries of asset management with leading edge digital innovation.

Working across multiple sectors, such as transport, energy, water, nuclear and defence and across a vast array of maturity levels, means that our asset management work is exciting and varied

For example, we:
- deliver major transformation programmes
- optimise the adoption of innovative technologies to achieve major performance and cost efficiencies,
- develop leading-edge regulatory business plans,
- design optimised and differentiated asset investment strategies and plans,
- perform complex analysis on asset information to drive insights and decisions

The way we approach asset management at PA is different to many.

We combine our asset management experience across multiple sectors, with wider PA expertise in areas such as, innovation, digital, human capital to bring truly ingenious, well-rounded, practical solutions to our clients.

What we're looking for
On the back of continued success, we are looking for talented people to join our growing asset management team.

We work very closely with all our clients, build strong interpersonal relationships and pride ourselves on our ability to 'walk the talk,'.

Therefore, we are particularly interested in those who have practical 'hands on' experience with water infrastructure assets and interest of:

The operation of water and wastewater networks
The asset management challenges in delivering a source to tap service, including the threats & opportunities faced by the sector in the coming decades
The production of asset strategies, asset policy, asset plans and asset standards

At PA we believe that a brilliant asset manager is someone who is curious, enjoys exploring new ideas, and seeks to evolve asset management thinking and problem definition.

We are looking to recruit and support curious asset management experts to develop across these areas, who are willing to learn and develop themselves in a consulting environment.

To further enhance our projects pipeline we are looking for people to generate growth; business development is the key enabler for this, so previous experience of winning new work and developing opportunities is highly beneficial.

Selfmotivation and ability to manage their own workload effectively
Creative and open minded, enjoying learning and trying new ways of doing things
Strong communication, presentation creation, delivery and document writing skills
A great team member in multidiscipline teams
