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.

The Role

If there is a large strategic project taking place in the sector, the chances are we will be advising on it.

• The work will include a combination of report drafting, economic analysis, and engaging with clients. 
• You will need to be comfortable managing, coaching, and mentoring junior staff across a number of projects. 
• You will contribute towards building the team, identifying opportunities in the market, and providing thought leadership.
