Job description

Overview

ERM is a global leader in sustainability and climate advisory, supporting many of the world’s largest companies and investors to respond to the financial, strategic, and operational implications of sustainability and the low-carbon transition.

Our team

The Private Markets Commercial team designs and delivers advisory services for infrastructure investors, private equity firms, and asset managers. We support clients across transactions, asset ownership, and portfolio strategy, helping them manage risk, protect value, and strengthen long‑term performance.

Our work includes transaction support, asset and portfolio advisory, and investor‑level strategy, with a strong focus on infrastructure sectors such as renewables, transport, utilities, and digital infrastructure, including data centres. We combine technical insight with commercial execution, helping investors understand how sustainability and climate considerations affect asset quality and investment outcomes.

The role

As a Managing Consultant, you will play a key role in leading delivery, managing client relationships, and supporting business development across infrastructure‑focused engagements. You will act as a day‑to‑day client contact, lead workstreams, and ensure delivery excellence across complex, fast‑paced projects.

Key responsibilities (not limited to):

• Lead delivery of advisory and due diligence engagements for infrastructure investors and asset managers.
• Translate technical, sustainability, and asset‑level considerations into clear commercial and investment implications.
• Manage end‑to‑end project delivery, including scoping, planning, execution, and close‑out.
• Act as a primary point of contact for clients, building trust through high‑quality delivery and pragmatic advice.
• Oversee and quality‑assure the work of junior consultants to ensure clarity, consistency, and relevance.
• Draft and finalise client deliverables that are clear, structured, and suitable for investment decision‑making.
• Support account development through proactive client engagement and identification of follow‑on opportunities.
• Contribute to proposal development and client pitches, particularly for infrastructure and transaction‑led work.
• Coach and develop junior team members.

About you

You are a credible, client‑facing consultant with experience working with infrastructure assets or investors. You are comfortable operating at the interface between technical detail and commercial decision‑making and enjoy working in transaction‑oriented environments.

Required capabilities and experience:

• Experience delivering infrastructure‑focused advisory, technical due diligence, sustainability, or strategy consulting engagements.
• Strong project management and workstream leadership capability.
• Understanding of sustainability and climate considerations relevant to infrastructure investments, such as asset performance, resilience, transition risk, and regulatory drivers.
• Strong commercial awareness and ability to support account growth and proposal development.
• Clear, structured communication skills and ability to produce executive‑ready deliverables.
