Your new company

This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading international organisation operating within the renewable energy and major infrastructure sector. Backed by global energy stakeholders, the business is delivering large-scale, capital-intensive projects across the UK, supported by a strong pipeline of both operational assets and future developments.

With a focus on complex, long-term investments, the organisation is playing a key role in the transition to sustainable energy while offering exposure to high-profile, technically challenging projects within a collaborative and internationally connected environment.

Your new role

As Project Finance Manager, you will take on a critical role within the UK finance function, supporting a broad range of corporate finance activities across a growing project portfolio. You will be responsible for managing relationships with lenders and external financing partners, while also contributing to key decisions around capital structure, funding strategy and investment execution.

You will oversee financial modelling across multiple project financings and investment transactions, ensuring quality and consistency across internally produced models and those delivered by external advisors. The role will involve coordinating the structuring and raising of finance for new projects, including the preparation of detailed financial materials and supporting engagement with lenders and investors.

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams across finance, legal, tax, technical and commercial functions, you will play a central role in delivering financing transactions from inception through to execution. You will also support the negotiation and review of financing documentation, analyse market conditions and funding options to optimise financing strategies, and contribute to refinancing and transaction activities, including due diligence and stakeholder coordination.


What you'll need to succeed

To succeed in this role, you will bring a strong background in project finance, ideally within the energy or wider infrastructure sector. You will hold a degree in finance, economics, mathematics or engineering, alongside at least five years of relevant professional experience in a project finance environment.

You will demonstrate advanced Excel-based financial modelling skills, coupled with strong commercial awareness and a solid understanding of financial and economic principles. Experience working on complex infrastructure or energy projects will be essential, while knowledge of project finance structuring, renewable energy economics, and UK tax or accounting practices will be advantageous.

In addition, you will be a proactive self-starter who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and engaging with stakeholders at all levels. Strong attention to detail, excellent organisational skills and the ability to communicate effectively are key, along with fluency in English both written and spoken.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will join a high-performing and globally connected organisation operating at the forefront of renewable energy and infrastructure investment. The role offers the opportunity to work on large-scale, high-value projects and gain exposure to complex financial transactions within a growing and strategically important sector.

Based in Edinburgh, this position provides a strong platform for career progression while working alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
