Engineering Technical Consultant - Transport Infrastructure

Infrata is a globally operating consultancy advising private investors on demand, commercial, technical and ESG aspects of large and complex transport and 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 a wide range of industries.

The Transport Infrastructure practice is highly experienced and provides advisory services across multiple modes, including maritime, aviation, roads and rail. The practice focuses on areas such as transport asset and network transactions, business and operational optimisation, traffic and demand forecasting, route and network development, and economic and regulatory analysis. Our clients include blue-chip investors, infrastructure owners and operators, public authorities, and financial institutions, and we typically work at a senior level within client organisations.

Responsibilities

• Support the delivery of due diligence and technical advisory reports for lenders and their legal advisors.
• Lead and assist on engagements related to lenders’ technical advice, due diligence, and construction or operations-phase monitoring across a range of transport infrastructure assets.
• Draft sections of reports and other client deliverables, contribute to the preparation of commercial proposals, and participate in marketing, business development, and client relationship management.
• Support the development of new tools and methodologies to enhance the efficiency, consistency, and quality of project delivery across maritime, aviation, road and rail engagements.

Who are you?

• Strong academic background in a relevant discipline such as civil, structural, geotechnical, pavement, or traffic engineering, construction management, transport planning, or economics, with experience or interest across transport infrastructure sectors including maritime, aviation, roads and rail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with fluency in English essential. Proficiency in additional languages, particularly French or Spanish, is a strong advantage.
• Commercially minded with the ability to build and maintain client relationships and secure repeat business.
• Willingness to travel; knowledge of PPP procurement, project finance, and transport infrastructure investment structures is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in additional languages and the ability to communicate effectively across different regions and cultures to support collaboration with global clients.

Job location

The role will be based in Infrata’s central London office near Bank Station. The candidate may be required to undertake short business trips overseas to meet with clients and visit project sites across different transport modes. Given the geographic diversity of projects, working hours may occasionally need to be flexible to accommodate client time zones, for example when participating in conference calls from London.
