At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.
The opportunity:
Forming a part of the management team of KPMG Canada’s Deal Advisory Infrastructure Practice, as Manager you will support Partners and Senior Managers in the delivery of high quality services to top tier public and private sector clients including government agencies, contractors, industry associations, developers, investors and asset managers, by bringing engineering, professional services, or construction industry expertise to the team.
What you will do:
- Support the development and growth of KPMG’s capital project advisory services, and manage the delivery of program/project delivery governance, commercial and technical advisory engagements for public and private sector infrastructure clients
- Manage a team of professionals in the coordination and delivery of engagement field work, including the preparation of proposals, deliverables, analysis and documentation, presentation to clients and engagement economics.
- Support clients with the analysis and turnaround of troubled projects, providing independent review and turnaround strategy, and litigation avoidance or claims management services, including schedule delay and cost quantum reports in engineering or construction disputes.
