London, Greater London, United Kingdom BuroHappold Engineering Full time
Thrive on openness, respect and collaboration? Good. Us too. Join us tolead our Capital Projects & Commercial Advisory practice and create transformative outcomes for people, planet and places. This is an opportunity to build and shape an impactful new Advisory offering, harnessing our deep domain expertise in the built environment. We intend to appoint this role at either Director or Partner (direct entry) level, depending on experience.
Here at Buro Happold, expect the exceptional.

From the projects you will work on to the clients we work with. From career-defining opportunities to an inclusive and diverse practice where we all contribute to a more equitable world. From our reputation to our relationships. Wherever your Buro Happold career takes you, it'll be anything but ordinary.

Your next role

We see enormous opportunities to create a new Capital Projects & Commercial Advisory 'practice' within Buro Happold that combines strategic advisory, asset and capital project advisory, management consultancy, commercial advisory and technical insight, built on a solid foundation of technical and subject matter expertise and experience.

In this role you will lead and shape our Capital Projects, Asset Optimisation & Commercial Advisory practice, providing key capital projects experience and driving business growth, establishing strategic partnerships, and providing visionary leadership.

Leveraging your extensive experience in capital projects and overall advisory work, you will spearhead the development and execution of our strategies, ensuring exceptional client outcomes and positioning Buro Happold as a leader in the industry.

You will draw up upon existing consulting teams and capabilities as well as building something new to take us to the next level. These teams include the following (but not limited to):

  • Infrastructure
  • PMO
  • Mobility
  • Economics
  • Urban Strategies
  • Asset consulting
  • Sustainability and ESG
  • Energy Transition
  • Digital advisory

These teams work at different scales in the built environment with a core focus on buildings and masterplans but also operating at portfolio or city levels.

They, in turn, are underpinned by core design-focussed engineering disciplines including structures, MEP, infrastructure, facades and other specialists.

The hire is a continuation of our global strategy to build our advisory capability and cement our offerings in the following key areas;

  • Sustainability and energy transition
  • Strategy and operating models
  • Capital Projects, Asset Optimisation, and Commercial advisory
  • Digital Advisory

Some of these areas are now well established with existing clients, projects, methods and capability whilst others are more emergent. What is common, though is a desire to scale these propositions into becoming a significant, sustainable piece of business that is focussed on understanding and creating advisory solutions for client opportunities and challenges by drawing upon an interconnected set of thinkers, innovators, collaborators and subject-matter specialist across the practice as well as external collaborators.

Key Duties:

  • Provide visionary leadership, setting the strategic direction for our capital projects, asset optimisation & commercial advisory practice and driving business growth.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with key clients, serving as a trusted advisor and fostering long-term partnerships.
  • Lead and oversee complex advisory projects, ensuring exceptional project delivery, client satisfaction, and achievement of project objectives.
  • Provide strategic guidance and expert advice to clients on commercial project management, contracts, negotiations, and procurement processes.
  • Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions and strategies, ensuring alignment with clients' goals and objectives.
  • Lead and facilitate high-level client meetings, presentations, and workshops, effectively communicating project progress, findings, and recommendations.
  • Monitor project portfolios, overseeing timelines, budgets, and resources to ensure successful project outcomes and profitability.
  • Cultivate a collaborative and inclusive work environment, fostering the growth and development of team members and promoting knowledge sharing.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends, regulations, and best practices in commercial advisory, applying relevant insights to enhance client engagements and drive thought leadership.
  • Contribute to business development efforts, including the identification of new opportunities, proposal writing, client presentations, and participation in industry events.
Your skills & experience
  • Extensive experience working for an advisory firm, specialising in commercial advisory (encompassing capital projects and asset optimisation), with a proven track record of leading and delivering successful projects in the real estate sector.
  • In-depth knowledge of commercial project management, contracts, procurement processes, and risk assessment.
  • In-depth knowledge of capital projects, operational and governance models.
  • Strong understanding of asset portfolios and helping end clients maximise their value.
  • Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to inspire and lead teams, drive business growth, and achieve exceptional results.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of navigating complex challenges and driving innovative solutions.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, or a related field. A postgraduate degree is highly desirable.
At Buro Happold, everyone else's extraordinary is just our everyday.

Apply today and be a part of our legacy.
