Project Finance Specialist
Job Description
The opportunity
Bring project-finance knowledge to training examples involving assets with long operating lives and limited-recourse funding. Work links project contracts, financing terms and operating assumptions to cash flows, identifying which risks sit with sponsors, lenders or other counterparties.
What you will work on
• Create infrastructure, public-private partnership and energy cases covering construction, operating periods and the financing assumptions appropriate to each stage.
• Review project cash-flow models and waterfalls, tracing revenue, operating costs, debt service, reserves and distributions through the agreed priority of payments.
• Evaluate AI explanations of sponsor and lender risk allocation, including the relationship between contractual commitments and the cash flows available to support debt.
• Test downside scenarios and model sensitivities, explaining how delays, changed operating assumptions or financing terms affect coverage, liquidity and investor outcomes.
Relevant qualifications
• Practical project-finance knowledge covering infrastructure, PPP or energy transactions, limited-recourse structures, long-tenor financing and cash-flow waterfalls.
• Ability to review models, interpret financing and project-contract assumptions and explain the commercial effect of risk allocation. Describe the asset types and transaction responsibilities within your experience.
Deliverables
Project cases, annotated models, waterfall calculations and structured feedback on AI analysis. Make the relationships between contracts, operating assumptions and financing outcomes visible, and identify where the conclusion depends on information outside the exercise or specialist review of the applicable terms.
