We are looking for an experienced Analyst or Associate to join the Infrastructure & Renewable Resources (I&RR) investing team in Victoria, BC. If you are a highly motivated, team player with excellent communication skills and an interest in investing in infrastructure, forestry, and agriculture – this is the opportunity for you!
BCI’s I&RR team invests globally in infrastructure, forestry, and agriculture businesses that provide stable long-term results. The team is one of the top ten largest institutional infrastructure investors globally, managing C$25+ billion in AUM through its offices in Victoria, BC and London, UK.
The I&RR team predominantly seeks direct investments in private companies – but also pursues complementary strategies including investments in publicly listed companies and debt instruments. The team invests in a variety of capacities including as a sole sponsor, co-investor, and selectively through funds. In these capacities, the team seeks to take an active governance approach built on a foundation of trusted relationships with all stakeholders and a commitment to long-term value creation.

The Analyst/Associate will be a key member of the investment team in the Victoria office, contributing to the growth, preservation, and value realization of investments within I&RR’s portfolio. This involves taking an active role in analyzing potential investment opportunities, working with existing portfolio companies to craft strategy and implement value-enhancing initiatives, and collaborating within the team to identify and execute on strategic initiatives across the portfolio.
