If you are looking for an exciting and challenging opportunity to work as a debt specialist principal investor for a market leading business, then join our Infrastructure Projects and Principal team in London as an Associate or Vice President. Recently the team has completed such transactions as the £1.2bn Silvertown Tunnel PPP project in the UK, and the acquisition of a Fibre-to-the-Home network from MasMovil in Spain, and won various industry awards such as Financial Advisor and Sponsor of the year (both for the second year running) at the 2020 Partnership Awards. As an Associate or Vice President in our team, you will be involved in raising finance for investment of the Macquarie Capital balance sheet as principal in infrastructure projects and companies across Europe, encompassing both greenfield project development (including PPPs) and brownfield principal investments including core+/value-add infrastructure, spanning the energy, transport, social and digital infrastructure sectors. You will be working alongside the principal investment teams and be responsible for raising and negotiating committed external debt for infrastructure opportunities, negotiating term sheets and finance contracts, conducting due diligence, managing fund raising processes to support transactions for both internal and external stakeholders and engaging professionally with our counterparties, such as lenders, industry partners and global co-investors, due diligence advisors and client representatives. To be successful in the role, you will have an outstanding academic record and combine the knowledge obtained in your undergraduate degree (preferably in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering or Law), with your expertise in project finance modelling to evaluate performance under various operating scenarios to analyse the impacts of different capital structures. You will have 4-6 years experience within the infrastructure and/or energy (excluding oil and gas) sectors in either Investment Banking, Project Finance, Project Development, Principal Investing, or an Infrastructure Fund to quickly make an impact. Demonstrating a broad base of lender relationships will be an added consideration for the role.
