About the role

At PwC, our Capital Project Services (CPS) team consists of engineers, project managers and accountants with a diverse range of backgrounds. Our expanding team is currently seeking talented, high performing, industry professionals to join us. 

All implementers of major capital projects face risk throughout the course of their business and that's where we come in. Our CPS team advises clients on the business issues relating to the delivery of capital projects, provides project and programme management solutions and we also provide dispute advisory services for projects that have failed. We are currently expanding our team to enhance the financial and commercial expertise that we can provide for clients.

If you enjoy working with high profile clients and would relish the chance to see the bigger picture, then our CPS team at PwC will provide you with that opportunity. You’ll have the opportunity to work on high-profile, international projects that will enable you to reach your full potential.
