Treasury Analyst

Role:

As part of our continued growth, we are looking for a Treasury Analyst to support the development of our financing expertise and offer to clients.

The particular focus of this role is on supporting debt and equity raise processes and implementing the key changes in project companies driven by financing requirements (e.g. compliance with debt covenants, drawdown requests, compliance certificates).

This will also offer you the opportunity to further develop your skillset and progress into a role working on large project finance transactions across our portfolio of infrastructure programs. Future tasks will include:

• Supporting the development of new commercial models for infrastructure and financing approaches and ultimately raising debt and equity.

• Project Finance cashflow modelling.

Company:

Agilia is a specialist infrastructure consultancy operating at the forefront of some of the most exciting and challenging infrastructure projects in the UK and across the world. Established in 2017 our team now comprises a growing number of infrastructure professionals with experience covering all major infrastructure sectors.

Our joint Managing Directors were both key members of the client team that was responsible for the £4.2 billion Thames Tideway Tunnel project. Within our Senior team we possess a particularly strong record in the Water and Energy sectors. The key strategic objectives of Agilia are to:

• Build a leading-edge consultancy with world class capability that provides clients with the benefit of first-hand innovative experience in the development and delivery of mega projects, whether publicly or privately financed.

• To aggregate senior and early career talent so that the current infrastructure leaders may help form future leaders in the field of infrastructure.

• To provide opportunity to groups that have been historically less well represented within our industry; and

• To be and remain connected with the communities that we ultimately serve.

In April 2023, Agilia's ownership structure changed and is now constituted as an Employee-Owned Trust (EOT).

This is a hugely positive step for us and will align our business even more closely with the needs of our clients.

Our change in ownership structure has been prompted by a desire to ensure that we embed a long-term sustainable structure for the business. We also wanted our organisation to more closely reflect what we aim to do on the projects we are engaged to deliver. This includes creating project and organisational structures, which promote collective commercial and value alignment to serve a wider purpose.

We also consider that moving to an EOT will support the further development of our people as we continue to nurture future leaders of the infrastructure sector.
