  • Bid evaluation and probity support
  • Partnerships across government, investors, and operators

You will be hands-on in complex deals, winning work, shaping strategy, and building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.

About You

We know the market is tight, so we're open to candidates who can demonstrate agility and the ability to apply their expertise across different sectors. Ideally, you will bring:

  • Experience in transactions, commercial advisory, project finance, or major projects advisory
  • Exposure to infrastructure sectors - preferably social infrastructure, but transferable experience from transport, energy, utilities, defence or property will be highly regarded
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with a track record of influencing senior decision-makers
  • A passion for delivering projects that drive community and social outcomes

Why Join?

  • Work with a Top 4 brand at the forefront of infrastructure and government advisory
  • Engage on nation-shaping projects with real social impact
  • Career progression opportunities into Director and Partner pathways
  • Collaborative, high-performance culture with the resources of a global firm
  • Flexibility and support to work across sectors and develop your expertis

If you're an ambitious commercial leader who thrives in complex projects and wants to help shape Australia's social infrastructure future, we'd love to hear from you.
