Our team is gender and culturally diverse, and we welcome people from a range of professional backgrounds.

 

Our Infrastructure Advisory sub service line, within EY-Parthenon, is trusted by public sector ministries and agencies, as well as by private sector companies, for its expertise in infrastructure, including strategy and business case development, commercial and risk advisory, financing, transaction structuring, modelling and management of procurement processes. We are regularly named by our industry peers as Infrastructure Financial Advisor of the Year in Canada and the Americas. Our team is growing, and we are looking for an Analyst to join us in Edmonton, to support the commercial and financial aspects of our engagements.

 

You will be joining a team that advises through the full lifecycle of core and nation-building infrastructure projects across Canada and globally, from strategy, policy and business case development, transactions, ongoing asset management, renewal and disposal. Our work is across asset classes including transportation (e.g., rail, transit, highways, airports), healthcare, environment (e.g., waste), energy, mining, higher education, schools, and municipal facilities. In Alberta specifically, we are working at the forefront of some of the largest and highest profile Canadian and local projects such as the Alberta Passenger Rail Master Plan, Northern/Southern Alberta Compassionate Intervention Centres, Alberta Schools Bundles and Edmonton-based Light Rail Transit Expansion Projects.

 

Working with us also means you’ll have the chance to collaborate with infrastructure professionals across Canada and connect with colleagues from other practices to deliver exceptional value to our clients. Depending on project needs, you may work on engagements nationwide, gaining exposure to diverse teams and perspectives.
