Our Global Infrastructure Advisory team in Montreal is looking for a professional like you with the skills and experience to make a real difference.

KPMG's Global Infrastructure practice professionals are integrated commercial advisors to physical asset investors, owners, developers and contractors over the entire asset lifecycle. In doing so we help to reduce costs, improve performance, reduce risk and uncertainty of outcomes around the development and operations of physical asset portfolios, programs and projects and create and preserve value for clients on primary and secondary market infrastructure transactions.

This results in an exciting environment in which to work and gives members of the team the opportunity to stretch their capabilities and develop new areas of expertise.

At times, business needs arise, and employees are required and agree to work beyond their normal workday or work week to fulfill the accountabilities of their job. Likewise, from time to time, people need extra time to commit to personal matters, and our flexible approach provides for this.
