Introduction to Infrata Infrata is a globally operating consultancy advising private investors (including industry sponsors, investment funds, banks and bond investors) on demand, commercial, technical and ESG aspects of large and complex infrastructure projects. Infrata has recently been acquired by dss+, enabling us to leverage our combined strengths to deliver even greater service to our clients. This acquisition aligns with dss+'s broader mission to drive sustainable impact, improve risk management, and enhance operational performance for its clients across various industries. Together, we look forward to a future filled with innovation, growth and continued success. What will you be doing? We have a vacancy for an experienced Principal Consultant within our team to support the firm's current growth and to fulfil ambitions of future expansion. We are looking for motivated candidates aspiring to develop their professional career within a dynamic and fast-paced environment. In this role, you will lead ESG projects for lenders and investors in infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with environmental, social, governance, and health and safety standards, as well as driving sustainable improvement and delivering value for our clients. Your assessments will guide investment decisions to align with sustainability goals and legislation. You will also have a role in managing the London-based ESG team. This will involve line managing junior team members, offering technical oversight and fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment. You will produce and supervise client reports, ensuring high-quality, clear analyses on ESG and sustainability matters. Additionally, you will manage client relationships as needed, ensuring tailored solutions that meet client expectations and supporting long-term partnerships. Who are you? The ideal candidate will have a bachelor's degree, with a track record in transaction advisory. Strong expertise in ESG/environmental/EHS due diligence, ideally in infrastructure projects, is essential, along with a good understanding of environmental, social governance, and health and safety standards. Expertise in broader ESG advisory and sustainability aspects such as climate risk and carbon management in the infrastructure sector is highly valuable, enabling you to provide strategic advice that enhances client value in navigating sustainability challenges. Leadership ambition is important, as the candidate will be expected to line manage junior team members, oversee report production and contribute to the strategy and direction of the business. Strong communication skills are necessary to deliver clear, high-quality reports and effectively manage client relationships. The role also requires applying technical knowledge, critical thinking, and analytical skills, while advising non-technical clients on complex matters in an accessible manner. Given the international scope of this work, proficiency in additional languages is advantageous. Being able to communicate effectively across different regions and cultures will enhance collaboration with global clients and stakeholders, supporting the delivery of tailored, localised solutions. Excellent written and spoken English is required with the majority of our work delivered through English. Job location The candidate will be based in Infrata's central London office in Victoria and may be required to perform short business trips overseas to meet with clients and visit projects. Diverse project geographies dictate that sometimes working hours may need to be flexible to accommodate client time zones, e.g. when making international conference calls from London. Why join us? Joining Infrata offers a unique opportunity to work on high-profile international infrastructure projects across various sectors, including transportation, social infrastructure, and energy. Now part of dss+, the company provides an exciting platform for career growth, as it expands its global reach and enhances its capabilities in technical, commercial, and sustainability consulting. Candidates will benefit from diverse project exposure, the chance to collaborate with senior experts, and the ability to work on cutting-edge ESG initiatives, which are critical in today's infrastructure landscape. With its focus on sustainable development and risk management, Infrata is an ideal environment for those looking to advance in the infrastructure advisory field.
