As a Director you would provide senior leadership to the team, working closely with other Directors and Partners in IAG P&U as part of a ‘one team’ culture.  You would have particular responsibility for building our competition finance practice, leading projects related to competition economics, profitability and regulatory reporting.

We are looking for a Assistant Manager with a Project Finance background to support the fast-growing Power & Utilities Projects team. 

 

The team specialises in advising clients on the delivery of large water and energy infrastructure projects including new nuclear plants, onshore and offshore electricity networks, interconnectors, reservoirs and other major assets. The Projects business is focussed on designing new markets and advising on in-house and competitive delivery models for major infrastructure projects and programmes.  We advise on all aspects of an asset’s delivery, including commercial arrangements, financing structures, regulatory strategy and engagement, and procurement processes – both for individual assets and new delivery programmes.

 

The group advises on strategy, policy, finance, deal structuring, regulatory analysis, and new market delivery models, working closely with other KPMG functions (e.g. tax, M&A, due diligence).

The Power & Utilities (P&U) team is the largest within IAG, serving major UK and European utility companies. It delivers expert advice in areas such as project finance, regulatory policy, business planning, and corporate financial management—helping clients attract investment, optimise regulatory outcomes, and create value for customers and shareholders.

Recognised as a market leader, the P&U division is structured into six growing practice areas—Finance, Projects, Strategy, Regulation, Transactions, and Benchmarking—and is experiencing double-digit growth, driving demand for high-calibre candidates to support its continued expansion.

We are looking for a candidate with a Project Finance background to support the fast-growing P&U Projects team.

Our clients, include companies, developers, bidders and regulators. Some of our projects include Hydrogen Transport Business Model, Hinkley Point C, potential investor in Sizewell C, Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT), multiple Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) and Special Infrastructure Projects Regime (SIPR) projects, Offshore Transmission Owners (OFTO), Cap and Floor Interconnectors, Competitively Appointed Transmission Owners (CATOs), new nuclear projects (NNPs) and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Our clients are typically based in the UK and across Europe.

KPMG research shows that 2/3 of deals fail to deliver value, and amongst the top reasons are People and Culture. HR M&A was set up as part of the Integration & Separation (I&S) team in Deal Advisory, which has been growing year on year and seen by our clients as a market leader. We have worked on some of the largest and most high-profile client engagements in the deals space, including multi-billion spins, integration of global mega mergers, disposals of non-core assets for large multinationals. We have launched a market differentiating digital engagement platform for M&A as well as a campaign focused on ‘the Human Side of Deals’, and we continue to drive digital innovation.
