Consulting - Infrastructure Graduate Scheme
How we make the difference in Infrastructure
Our highly skilled, multidisciplinary team offers help with many aspects of infrastructure development and operation. Our team supports across the infrastructure lifecycle, from helping clients with what infrastructure should be delivered, how it is going to be paid for, how it is going to be delivered, and how it is going to be operated. “Infrastructure” refers to structures and facilities needed for the operation of society. This includes transportation systems, power supplies, water and sanitation, and major capital projects.
Working with governments, policy makers, contractors, clients, investors, lenders and all parts of the supply chain; in KPMG Infrastructure, we focus on all sector areas to provide the support and strategies needed to deliver public services.
This is an exciting time to join the team. Our work is varied, often high-profile and rewarding. We are working on some fascinating public issues, including Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) implications for the public sector and its partners, the future of transportation, and how to deliver some of the largest and most complex infrastructure programmes in the UK.
How you’ll grow with us
On this programme, you will study towards a professional qualification, the ACA Accelerated qualification, or CA equivalent in Scotland, with full support from your team.
Within Infrastructure, we have a diverse team of accountants, economists, regulatory specialists, financiers, quantity surveyors, engineers, commercial experts, accountants, project managers, ex civil servants, and many other professions – meaning you get the chance to work with and learn from a diverse range of people with unique skillsets and backgrounds.

That’s why we operate an open access policy and an application process that will assess both your qualifications and your qualities.
Generally, you’ll be expected to demonstrate the following grades (*or equivalents), to show that you’re able to successfully study for professional qualifications. If you are a few grades or points short, we would still encourage you to apply, as your application will be reviewed together with your performance in our assessments. You‘ll also have the opportunity to provide additional information for us to assess your application and potential in the context of your socio-economic background and/or any extenuating circumstances, which may have a positive uplift on your academic achievements through contextual recruitment.

Training & development
The training and development of our people is critical to the future success of our business. We want to empower you to grow in your own way, to feed your curiosity and embrace a growth mindset in an environment where learning is continuous. We have therefore created a rich curriculum and learning community to help you build your skills and fulfil your potential. This ranges from an immersive five-day induction experience to help you transition to the world of work, through to formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning journals, online courses and networking events – all aligned to our ‘learn for a lifetime’ strategy designed to help you gain an advantage for life.
We offer the ACA Accelerated Programme or equivalent CA qualification. This is front-loaded, uses innovative technology and is delivered via a blend of online and in-centre classroom courses. The ACA Accelerated programme enables you to upskill quickly, so you can make your mark. For the first year of your training contract, you will focus purely on your professional qualification, by completing 12 out of 15 ACA exams. You will also have opportunities to reconnect with your home department and peer group, as well as complete internal training and extra skills sessions. The entire programme is supported in a wide range of ways by your tuition provider (BPP) and KPMG’s dedicated Early Careers Development team.
If you join a Scottish office, we support the equivalent CA qualification and therefore you will study towards your ICAS. This newly designed programme enables you to sit the majority of the ICAS exams in your first year, provides you with innovative technology to support your learning experience and also enables you to upskill quickly. You will have opportunities to reconnect with your home department and peer group, as well as complete internal training and extra skills sessions. The entire programme is supported in a wide range of ways by ICAS and KPMG’s dedicated Early Careers Development team.
For both programmes in the remaining two years of your training contract, you will concentrate on building up a fantastic range of work experience, complete your exams and will have the technical knowledge to apply to your role in the workplace. These programmes have been structured with you in mind and truly empower you to accelerate your learning journey at KPMG.
