Who are we

KPMG is one of the world's largest and most respected audit and consulting firms. We've supported the UK through times of war and peace, prosperity and recession, political and regulatory upheaval. We've proudly stood beside the institutions and businesses which make the UK what it is.

Major Projects Advisory (MPA) is a multi-disciplinary team within Customer, Operations, and Infrastructure (CO&I): one of seven super service lines across KPMG’s Advisory business. Operating from all over the UK, we do work on those matters, serving the country with diligence and expertise. We are a multi-disciplinary team of cross-sector experts in complex project and programme delivery. We transform our clients’ delivery capability and partner with them to deliver faster, cheaper, greener, and better. As a recognized market leader, we are proud to partner with an impressive client base across both private and public sectors, delivering lasting results in several market sectors, namely:

• Government
• Defence
• Water
• Construction and materials
• Energy
• Transport
• Retail

Why join KPMG as a Technology, Sustainability and Innovation Assistant Manager?

“TSI” (Technology, Sustainability and Innovation) is part of KPMG’s Major Projects Advisory team that was established

What you will be doing

Our Assistant Managers play an important part in making things happen for our clients, and candidates need a foundation of professional experience - gained in consulting, industry, or technical backgrounds, or other fields with an interest in capital projects and programmes.

As a team, we take on a wide range of assignments, where we foster and encourage an entrepreneurial spirit and intellectual curiosity to best support our clients' most challenging situations. This will include:

• Supporting the delivery of senior client-facing work within specialist areas, including producing high-quality outputs with excellent attention to detail
• Translating complex themes into simple-to-understand presentations and outputs
• Challenging our team (and client teams) to develop new solutions by leveraging our collective strengths to deliver lasting value for our clients
• Keeping up to date with developments affecting your work, identifying opportunities for thought leadership, and assisting with the development of KPMG’s opinion in specific technical areas
• Identifying potential business development opportunities and areas for collaboration across MPA for new assignments and assisting with bids
• Coaching and mentoring colleagues – both up and down
• Being a role model and living our values

What you will need to do it

We are a highly innovative team that constantly looks to develop both ourselves and our clients by fostering a culture of continuous improvement – no matter their position within the team structure. The ideal candidate would be driven to help drive this culture and take ownership of team strategy activities and initiatives.

The role requires a skilled individual who is adaptable and experienced in collaborating with a multi-disciplinary technical team. Experience in translating technical information to a broad audience in non-technical terms will be highly valued.

Helping to solve some of the most complex challenges in infrastructure can be a tall order. You will therefore need the agility and determination to reset and try different approaches. You will work within a highly collaborative, high-performing team where failure is celebrated. The team is well-blended, containing a vast range of skillsets and personalities – introverts as well as extroverts are equally welcome.

Skills we’d love to see / amazing extras:

• Experience of working in an advisory or delivery capacity – either for another consultancy, client-side role in industry, or other technical backgrounds
• Experience applying project, programme, and/or portfolio management
• Relevant experience or an interest in one (or more) of the following specialism areas for the team: construction innovation, digital evolution, and sustainability
• Analytical and problem-solving skills – including working with numerical data
• An ability to build and maintain great relationships
• Confident communication and presentation skills
• A good spread of experience using different software/applications such as Teams, PowerPoint, Word, Excel
• Relevant professional certification – e.g., APM PMQ/PPQ/ChPP; MoP; MSP; PRINCE2

Our TSI Team Pledge

Specifically within TSI, we have a high degree of autonomy and flexibility to accommodate personal circumstances, including how your workday is structured. While we’d expect you to come into the office for specific in-person events such as internal meetings, networking events, or client meetings, we generally have a flexible approach to hybrid working, blending in-person interaction (typically 2-3 days a week in the office or as work needs dictate) with home working. This will vary from project to project.

We understand that other commitments may occasionally restrict your workday, such as school runs, caring responsibilities, or medical appointments, and we are able to work around these events as needs arise. Workload and hours can also vary between projects. However, we are an open team and encourage all colleagues to speak up if they ever feel overloaded, either from personal or professional circumstances.

As a team, we are highly diverse, whether in age, position, educational background, or expertise. Some of our colleagues are from financial, engineering, or even humanities backgrounds. We welcome applications from all educational backgrounds or those who may have experience in lieu of formal qualifications, and encourage those to apply even if they feel only partially suitable to the requirements. Our priority is to ensure we are hiring the right person for the role, as opposed to applicants adhering to a strict set of criteria.

Our Locations:

We are open to talk to professionals across the country, but our core hubs for this role are:

• London - Canary Wharf
• Manchester
• Birmingham
• Leeds

With 20 sites across the UK, we can potentially facilitate office work, working from home, flexible hours, and part-time options. If you have a need for flexibility, please register and discuss this with our team.

To discuss this or wider Deal Advisory roles with our recruitment team, all you need to do is apply, create a profile, upload your CV, and begin to make your mark with KPMG.
