Your team

You will be joining one of the leading infrastructure and power franchises in EMEA, which has a dynamic and tight knit team culture. Over the past 4 years, the team has been active in numerous high-profile transactions, and has become a leader in sell-side M&A. Key achievements include:

2. Utilities: Engaging with integrated and regulated utilities covering transmission and distribution (molecules and electrons) but also supply-focused customer businesses and water utilities
3. Infrastructure: Focused on both “core” sectors involving port, toll-road, leasing, and rail assets as well as “core +” mandates across value-add infrastructure, with opportunities for cross staffing across related sector teams including digital, and business services

• Solid financial and accounting skills
• Passionate and motivated to develop your career and relationships both within UBS and with your clients
