Birmingham, United Kingdom KPMG-UnitedKingdom Full time

**Job description**

**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 SRO's 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're once again investing in our team to drive a step change in our capability. This means you'll 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 Associate Director level, who can work alongside our existing team to use their lived experience of construction and commercial acumen to solve complex problems.

You will be responsible for helping to grow and deliver our MPA business, working with our leadership team, client organisations and other KPMG teams to develop our offerings and value propositions. Your role will focus on delivering, innovating and growing our cost and delivery intelligence capability within MPA. This will leverage your previous experience across benchmarking, cost analytics and advisory work on policy and procedure in projects and programmes across the infrastructure sectors. You will have a team of specialists in MPA to help grow this offering.

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.

**The team member**

You will have deep experience of implementing industry leading solutions for cost and delivery intelligence. You should come with a vision of how construction and infrastructure can better utilise benchmarking and cost analytics to improve capital delivery outcomes, and you will have the drive and capability to work with our specialists to implement these improvements across our clients' organisations.

You will be comfortable working with senior executives in client organisations and advising on policy and procedure levers needed to continuously improve and transform their infrastructure delivery capability, with the aim of being industry leading in this space.

This senior role is ideally suited to those with significant post-qualification experience in a field such as commercial management & quantity surveying, project controls, engineering and project management. The role requires experience with the following attributes:

- An in-depth understanding of the factors which drive costs on construction projects and infrastructure capital delivery
- Capability to interpret broad and deep data sets and project/programme reports, and determine how best to utilise and improve these to provide useful insight to senior client contacts
- Familiarity with developing and implementing techniques to benchmark and assess construction and project costs
- A good understanding of key issues which typically impact project performance, and experience of implementing policies and procedures which improve performance
- Ability to set out a clear approach to tackling a new challenge in the most efficient manner, and leading others in the delivery of that approach
- Analytical and problem-solving mindset: ability to distil complex concepts into causal factors with clear attainable plans and actions
- Competent in producing clear, concise and fact-based outputs, working with or managing a team of specialists to deliver high quality reports and solutions.
- Clear recommendation of solutions to project and programme issues based on own knowledge and experience, taking into account specific context
- Familiarity with industry best practice and government guidance
- Familiarity with industry-standard contract forms
- A relevant professional qualification, such as MRICS, MICE, MACostE, MCIOB or equivalent
- Cost planning and estimating
- Risk and value management
- Governance and assurance in capital projects
- Policy and procedure development in capital projects
- Project and programme management
- Project controls
- Earned value management
- Procurement strategy
- Claims, disputes and dispute avoidance
