Our Global Infrastructure Advisory team in Vancouver is looking for a professional like you with the skills and drive to make a real difference.

Our Global Infrastructure Advisory team - comprising of over 100 professionals nationally - is a multi-disciplinary group of capital project managers, engineers, accountants, and attorneys, many of whom are former owners, contractors, and/or design or construction professionals from industry. We add value to our clients on their major infrastructure projects by helping them understand and manage the risks associated with their projects. We assist both public sector and private sector clients in the development of strategies to realize their major infrastructure projects by providing a full spectrum of planning, transaction structuring, value for money, procurement, delivery, and asset management and operations advisory services.

What You Will Do
As the successful candidate, you will be part of the team delivering high quality services to top tier public and private sector clients.

• You will also assist with business development in western Canada and nationally.

Work Environment

The responsibilities of the successful candidate in delivering these services over the course of specific client engagements will include

• Managing small teams of KPMG advisory personnel
• Providing leadership, direction, and guidance to senior and executive level client stakeholders
• Developing and presenting client materials including status reports, project reports and presentations

Practice Development
The successful candidate will help develop our internal teams through

At times, business needs arise and employees are required and agree to work beyond their normal workday or work week to fulfill the accountabilities of their job. Likewise, from time to time, people need extra time to devote to personal matters, and our flexible approach provides for this.
