KPMG UK’s Infrastructure Advisory Group (IAG) is a team of roughly 400 professionals and is widely recognised as one of the world’s leading independent financial and commercial advisers in the infrastructure sector. IAG has locations in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Manchester, but is operated on a national basis.

IAG provides in-depth advice on the strategic, financial, regulatory and commercial issues driving investments in infrastructure in the UK and internationally. This ranges from providing strategic thinking and advice to companies and investors to enable private capital to fund infrastructure, to working with the public sector to develop the business cases to enable projects to happen, and advising through negotiations that bring the public and private sectors together. We work closely with other functions within KPMG to advise clients on mergers and acquisitions, valuations, tax, accounting, and due diligence issues.
Social infrastructure is a key business area for IAG and covers real estate (including healthcare, housing, education) and decentralised energy sectors. We have traditionally focussed on the development of new infrastructure but are also increasingly focussed on the retrofitting and decarbonisation of the existing built environment.

We offer services across the lifecycle of infrastructure project development, ranging from assessing feasibility of transactions, commercial structuring, business plans and business cases to support investment into new projects, financing and procurement advice, commercial assurance over the construction and development phase of projects and dispute analysis for existing contracts.

The business is expanding and is looking for a high-quality candidate to support this growth, with a particular focus on low carbon energy and renewables sector
