Senior Consultant - Infrastructure Advisory

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 transportation and social 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.

What will you be doing?

We have a vacancy for an experienced Senior Consultant within our Infrastructure Advisory Team to support the firm’s current growth and to fulfil ambitions of future expansion. We are looking for motivated candidates aspiring to develop their professional career within a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

In this role, you will lead ESG/environmental/EHS due diligence for lenders and investors in infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with environmental, social, governance, and health and safety standards, as well as driving sustainable improvement and delivering value for our clients. Your assessments will guide investment decisions to align with sustainability goals and regulations.

Expertise in ESG advisory and sustainability aspects such as climate risk and carbon management in the infrastructure sector is highly valuable, enabling you to provide strategic advice that enhances client value in navigating sustainability challenges.

You will also mentor junior team members, offering technical oversight and fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment. Additionally, you will produce and supervise client reports, ensuring high-quality, clear analyses on ESG and sustainability matters. You will manage client relationships as needed, ensuring tailored solutions that meet client expectations and supporting long-term partnerships.

Who are you?

The ideal candidate will have a bachelor’s degree, with a track record in transaction advisory. Strong expertise in ESG/environmental/EHS due diligence, ideally in infrastructure projects, is essential, along with a good understanding of environmental, social governance, and health and safety standards.

In addition to broad ESG/sustainability skills, experience in services such as climate risk assessments and carbon management would be beneficial.

Leadership ambition is essential, as you will be expected to mentor junior team members and oversee report production.

Strong communication skills are necessary to deliver clear, high-quality reports and effectively manage client relationships. The role also requires applying technical knowledge, critical thinking, and analytical skills, while advising non-technical clients on complex matters in an accessible manner.

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, localised solutions. Excellent written and spoken English is required with the majority of our work delivered through English.

Job location

The candidate will be based in Infrata’s central London office in Victoria 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 international conference calls from London.

Why join us?

Joining Infrata offers a unique opportunity to work on high-profile international infrastructure projects across various sectors, including transportation, social infrastructure, and energy. Now part of dss+, the company provides an exciting platform for career growth, as it expands its global reach and enhances its capabilities in technical, commercial, and sustainability consulting. You will benefit from diverse project exposure, the chance to collaborate with senior experts, and the ability to work on cutting-edge ESG initiatives, which are critical in today’s infrastructure landscape. With its focus on sustainable development and risk management, Infrata is an ideal environment for those looking to advance in the infrastructure advisory field.

Infrata values professional development and is quick to recognise motivated team members who would like to progress their careers on the fast track. An opportunity to have an impact on how the business operates is available to all team members at any level of seniority or experience. Other than the fast learning experience and work diversity, Infrata offers working flexibility (hours and location) and benefits such as company pension contributions and sizeable performance bonuses.
