Econ Consulting > Infra PE/Project Finance?

Hi All, reposting because of No response have received an offer for an economic planning consultant at Arup a pretty large engineering/design firm in the infra space. My question is where can I go with a few years experience here? The job description seems quite good but would love to hear thoughts: "City Economics projects include economic appraisals of individual large-scale transport and housing investments, regeneration and economic development strategies, ex-ante policy appraisals, funding studies, development of infrastructure plans, business cases and economic evaluation studies. As part of our work, we work in collaboration with urban planners, landscape architects, urban designers, transport planners and sustainability experts, for instance in feasibility studies, business plans for major new urban infrastructure and masterplans. From your first day, you'll join an unrivalled community of experts, where everyone is supported in their career path and provided with great training opportunities. You'll help us to deliver effective and professional services for a range of varied and high-profile clients. While you'll have a great deal of responsibility from day one, we'll give you the chance to take on more as you progress and broaden your skills. Working as part of a team, your role will be to advise city-focused clients on a range of strategic, policy, economic and financial issues. Across the public and private sectors, you will help manage client relationships with public sector agencies, project and property developers, infrastructure operators and other organisations. This will involve primary and secondary research, data analysis, economic and financial modelling, information design and report writing skills"

I’ve seen people go from Arup and similiar firms (also called lenders technical advisor) to project finance. Often times these firms will advise lenders on a PF deal and check all the technical nuances to give lenders comfort. However, this role doesn’t seem to be that.

The key will be actually working on infra deals and getting exposed to financial modelling- without these there’s a low chance of getting into PF afterwards.
