What we’re looking for
We're not looking for experts in asset management. We're looking for people who can help asset-intensive organisations change.
We're looking for people who understand how infrastructure businesses really work and who can influence meaningful change across them. You may work in transport, utilities, energy, nuclear, defence or another asset-intensive sector. What matters most is not whether you hold a particular qualification, but whether you understand the challenges of running complex organisations, balancing competing priorities, and translating strategy into practical action.
Our strongest people combine business insight with delivery credibility. They understand how investment, operations, engineering, digital capabilities, regulation and organisational performance come together to create outcomes. They know how decisions are made, how change happens, and how to build alignment across diverse stakeholder groups. They are trusted by colleagues, well connected across their industry, and recognised for bringing people together to make things happen.
We are particularly interested in people who have experience of:
-
leading or supporting investment planning, asset strategy, operational improvement, business transformation, digital and data programmes, organisational design, or the implementation of major systems and capabilities.
-
Experience of working across capital and operational environments, translating long-term ambitions into deliverable programmes, and helping organisations navigate uncertainty would be highly valuable.
Successful candidates will be curious, commercially aware and comfortable tackling complex problems. They will be able to communicate clearly with everyone from executive leadership teams to front-line operations, distilling complexity into practical decisions and actionable insights. They will enjoy working collaboratively, leading teams, developing opportunities and helping clients address some of their most important strategic and operational challenges.
Most importantly, we're looking for people who understand the business behind the assets, can influence outcomes beyond their immediate role, and want to help organisations deliver lasting change.
Hybrid working - our approach is to be in the office or on client site a minimum of 2 days per week. However, the actual time you spend and where you spend it will vary by role or assignment, including up to 5 days per week on a client site.
We know the skill-gap and ‘somewhat need to tick every box’ can get in the way of meeting brilliant candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply – we’d love to hear from you.

Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.
All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.
We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you're unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
