If so, we’d love to hear from you!
The Corporate Finance Advisory (CFA) Team advises the Department for Transport (DfT) on commercial and funding strategies related to some of the UK’s most important transport projects and initiatives. We are a well-established, highly skilled and widely respected team of Corporate Finance professionals with backgrounds across the private and public sector. We are looking for a Business and PFI Administration colleague to join our collaborative, diverse and inclusive team.

The former will include team administration duties related to recruitment, finance and purchasing, information management and meeting organisation / coordination. The latter includes opportunities to support advice and management on specific PFI projects. The DfT PFI portfolio includes over 50 infrastructure projects that were developed using private finance arrangements, in which the private sector finances initial capital costs and then receives payments over a 25+ year contract related to the infrastructure. They mainly relate to roads and streetlighting infrastructure.

- Contributing to the overall performance and capability of the team and facilitate team working. This would include owning and updating the team resource tracker, ensuring this is updated by the team every month.
- Supporting and organising the annual DfT Private Finance Initiative (PFI) Local Authority Networking Event, and other working groups and events across the PFI Portfolio. This would include liaising and negotiating with external venues, securing budgets from within the Directorate, booking catering and helping to draft/ agree the agenda.
- Coordinating the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) Annual Data Collection from PFI contracting authorities. Ensuring data is complete, analyse returns and present findings to the Deputy Director.
- Helping to manage issues that come up on specific PFI projects in the portfolio.
