Infrastructure
Patient capital needs permanent teams.
Infrastructure funds hold assets for decades. We place the finance and operations professionals with the technical depth and the temperament for long-hold, asset-heavy strategies.
The problems we solve
Asset-heavy funds, specialist hires.
“Infrastructure finance sits between asset management and project finance, and few candidates fit.”
Infrastructure funds need finance professionals fluent in long-dated assets, SPV structures and complex valuations. We screen for that combination directly, rather than hoping a generalist fund accountant adapts.
“Our funds hold assets for decades but our teams keep turning over.”
Long-hold strategies deserve long-tenure teams. We assess for the temperament and motivation that suit patient capital, not just the technical checklist, because a mis-hire in a small infrastructure finance team is expensive.
“Energy transition mandates are pulling talent in every direction.”
Renewables and transition strategies have intensified competition for infrastructure finance and investment talent. We know where that talent sits across the wider private markets, and what genuinely moves it.
Roles we cover
Fund level and asset level, covered.
- Fund Accountants and Fund Controllers for credit funds

Why Carnegie
Private markets depth, applied to infrastructure.
The right technical screen
SPV accounting, long-dated valuations and project finance debt are testable. We test for them before you meet a candidate.
Temperament for the long hold
We assess motivation and fit for patient-capital environments, because small infrastructure teams cannot absorb a mis-hire.
London and New York
Infrastructure capital is global. Our presence in both hubs reflects where it is raised and managed.
One private markets network
Infrastructure draws talent from private equity, credit and asset management. We recruit across all of them, and have since 2006.
One team across private markets
Infrastructure hiring draws on our whole bench.
Infrastructure sits alongside private equity, private credit and asset management in the same talent market. The fund accountant you need next year may be sitting in a buyout fund today.
Because Carnegie recruits across the whole of private markets, and has since 2006, an infrastructure brief starts with a live network rather than a cold search.
The team
The best infrastructure hires rarely come from infrastructure. They come from the wider private markets, found by people who work all of them.

Common questions
Private credit hiring, answered.
What infrastructure roles does Carnegie recruit?
Finance and operations roles for infrastructure and energy transition funds: fund accountants and controllers, asset and SPV accounting specialists, valuations professionals, heads of finance and CFOs, in the UK and internationally.
How does infrastructure hiring differ from other private markets hiring?
Infrastructure combines fund-level accounting with asset-level complexity: SPV structures, long-dated valuations, project finance debt and heavy regulatory reporting. We test for that combination directly rather than relying on fund names on a CV.
Do you cover renewables and energy transition funds?
Yes. Energy transition strategies draw on the same private markets talent pool we have recruited from since 2006, and we cover the finance and operations roles those platforms need as they scale.
