Commercial Advisory & Assurance (Commercial Strategy and Procurement – Market Shaping)



The team

KPMG’s Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team works with industry-leading organisations, helping to solve some of the biggest challenges in infrastructure. As a true market leader, we boast an impressive client base across the commercial and public sectors, delivering lasting results on projects and programmes which are household names.

We focus on providing clarity to Boards, Executives and SROs (Senior Responsible Owner) at major public and private sector organisations, on the delivery of their projects and programmes. We work on some of the UK’s most strategically important programmes, and across all infrastructure sectors including transport, natural resources, energy, power and utilities, corporates, oil & gas, defence, health, housing & education.

Our team comprises specialists with deep construction industry experience, from working for project owners, contractors, engineering consultants and others in the UK and overseas.

On the back of continuing growth, we are once again investing in our team and boosting our numbers, which means you will be joining one of the fastest growing areas of the firm at a time of real significance.


The role

This role is for an innovative professional at manager level with major project and programme procurement experience. This role will work alongside our existing team to use their lived experience of the full project and programme lifecycle in the construction industry and a blend of procurement, commercial, engineering, delivery, and supply-chain acumen to solve complex problems.


You will be providing advice to a broad range of clients on many different matters, helping them to achieve successful outcomes through planning and implementing innovative and robust procurement and commercial interventions.#


The MPA team in the UK are based in London, Birmingham, and Manchester. This role will be based in one of these locations but will require travel to client locations throughout the UK and

occasionally overseas.

  • A good understanding of procurement law and regulations
  • Familiarity with industry-standard contract forms such as theNEC suite
  • A good understanding of issues which impact project performance
  • Ability to set out a clear approach to tackling a new challenge in the most efficient manner
  • Clear, concise, fact-based reporting

In addition to the above, experience in some of the following areas would also be of benefit to the candidate in the environment that we work in:

  • Project / programme management
  • Project / programme controls
  • Engineering or Design
  • Earned value management
  • Cost management, estimating and benchmarking
  • Risk management
  • Claims, disputes, and dispute avoidance
  • Governance and control of projects


The role will also include the end to end lifecycle of managing client engagements, using KPMG systems, for which comprehensive training is provided):

  • Management of project teams to deliver client engagements
  • Looking after financial aspects of an engagement with support and under supervision
  • Ensuring we keep clients informed of costs and time incurred, in addition to raising invoices and recovering fees, operating within approved risk processes
  • The role will be client facing and have direct impact on the reputation and perception of KPMG

In addition to the technical requirements of the role we also expect the right candidate to:

  • Be capable of working alone or within a team, including quickly building rapport and delivering with new teams
  • Provide clear and concise advice to clients
  • Maintain your requirements for continuing professional development
