Job description

Job Opportunity: Civil Engineer in Infrastructure & Energy Investment

Our client, a leading investor in infrastructure and energy projects, is expanding its European operations. The investment portfolio includes civil infrastructure (roads, rail), social infrastructure (schools, hospitals), residential, and energy investments. We are seeking a Civil Engineer with a design or project management background to join the investment team.

This demanding role involves leading the procurement and commercial review of ongoing projects from a technical perspective. Key responsibilities include:

1. Early-stage involvement: Participating in investment decisions and assisting in the selection and procurement of design and construction partners.
2. Project review and management: Ensuring technical compliance and accuracy during project front-end phases.
3. Design and construction solutions management: Optimizing for best commercial outcomes and asset performance.
4. Reporting: Providing regular updates to project boards and investor committees regarding project development and investment performance.
5. Stakeholder management: Engaging with investment partners, procurement bodies, local/government authorities, design and construction teams, and operations and maintenance providers.

The role will initially support an existing Investment Manager with an engineering background, with the expectation that the successful candidate will soon progress to independently monitor key project stages.

Candidates should be degree-qualified, preferably in engineering or a related construction field, with experience in large building or civil engineering projects. Exposure to Design and Build, JVs, or partnership projects is advantageous.

The position offers excellent long-term career development opportunities as the portfolio expands. Full training and mentorship will be provided for the non-construction aspects of the role.

Our client is committed to diversity and inclusion, seeking the most qualified individuals regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, including the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. The role is based in London; while remote work is possible, regular office attendance is required.

All applications will be handled confidentially.
