The Opportunity
Our award-winning Business and Investor Advisory team is looking for a leader who can support the growth and development of our services in the regulated utilities space with a particular focus on power networks. We are looking for a sub-team lead with excellent networking, collaboration and work winning skills to work within our wider Advisory business providing strategic advice to investors in energy infrastructure, utility companies and asset owners, government and regulators. A key part of the role will be to grow our existing client base, with a particular focus on new client relationships, to support business development across the energy transition space.
