Associate Director/Director, Commercial Advisory & Transactions

As part of KPMG’s Infrastructure, Assets & Places group, our Commercial Advisory & Transactions team are industry leaders providing specialist transaction, commercial, and financial advice to support investment decisions for major infrastructure projects. 

 

Our work spans all major infrastructure sectors including transport, energy, water and utilities and social infrastructure (health, housing, education, justice, and community infrastructure).  

Our team understands the challenges in delivering projects across the full project lifecycle, and we thrive on this complexity. We are a market leader, and we are advising on some of Australia’s most significant infrastructure projects.  

Your Opportunity  

To support continued infrastructure investment, we are seeking a Senior Leader (Associate Director or Director) to grow our South Australian practice locally in this newly created strategic leadership role. This position offers the chance to shape our market presence, lead high impact projects, and influence the future of infrastructure planning and delivery across the state. 

 In this role, you will play a pivotal part in providing commercial and financial advice on major infrastructure projects across the entire asset lifecycle, from early investment decisions and business case development, through procurement and transaction processes, and into delivery and operational phases. 

Key responsibilities include (but are not limited to): 

• Developing commercial and financial advice to support clients with the planning, procurement and delivery of infrastructure investments, including preparing business cases and assessing procurement and delivery model options. 

• Advising on transaction strategies and delivery model analysis, including the development of commercial and contractual structures for project financed infrastructure, integrated precincts, and other commercial realisation opportunities. 

• Engaging directly with clients to understand their challenges, design tailored solutions, prepare and deliver proposals, and oversee the successful management and delivery of engagements. 

• Building and leading a cohesive, delivery focused team, fostering a culture of growth, collaboration, and continuous learning. 

• Driving new business opportunities, strengthening existing client relationships, and actively representing the firm at industry events to build our local market presence.
