Introduction to Infrata
Infrata is a globally operating consultancy advising private investors (including industry sponsors, investment funds, banks and bond investors) on demand, commercial, technical and ESG aspects of large and complex infrastructure projects.
Infrata has recently been acquired by dss+, enabling us to leverage our combined strengths to deliver even greater service to our clients. This acquisition aligns with dss+'s broader mission to drive sustainable impact, improve risk management, and enhance operational performance for its clients across various industries. Together, we look forward to a future filled with innovation, growth and continued success.
The Maritime practice is highly experienced and offers advisory services across a range of product areas, with particular focus on port & logistics transactions, business optimisation, traffic forecasting, route development and port & logistics economic regulation. Our clients are blue chip, port authorities, international terminal operators and financial institutions, and typically we work at a senior level within client organisations.
What will you be doing?
Responsibilities include supporting the delivery of due diligence and technical advisory reports for lenders and their legal advisors, as well as leading and assisting on engagements related to lenders’ technical advice, due diligence, and construction or operations phase monitoring.
The role also involves drafting sections of reports and other deliverables, contributing to the preparation of commercial proposals, and playing an active role in marketing, business development, and client relationship management. Additionally, the position supports the development of new tools and methodologies to enhance the efficiency and quality of project delivery.
Who are you?
The ideal candidate will have a strong academic background in a relevant discipline such as civil, structural, geotechnical, pavement, or traffic engineering, construction management, transport planning, or economics. You will demonstrate excellent communication and teamwork skills, with fluency in English being essential and proficiency in other languages, particularly French or Spanish, considered a strong advantage.
A commercially minded approach, with a proven ability to build and maintain client relationships and secure repeat business, is highly valued. The role also requires a willingness to travel, and knowledge of PPP procurement and project finance would be highly desirable.
Given the international scope of this work, proficiency in additional languages is advantageous. Being able to communicate effectively across different regions and cultures will enhance collaboration with global clients and stakeholders, supporting the delivery of tailored, localized solutions.
Job location
The candidate will be based in Infrata’s central London office near Bank Station and may be required to perform short business trips overseas to meet with clients and visit projects. Diverse project geographies dictate that sometimes working hours may need to be flexible to accommodate client time zones, e.g. when making conference calls from London.
