Want to take over a finance function right at the point where it moves from theory to reality?
This is your chance.
The build phase of this major infrastructure project is nearly over. Now it's about real-world operations, commercial decisions, embedded processes, and a finance function that actually enables performance, not just reports on it.
That's where you come in.
You'll be joining as the business moves into full operational mode. An interim has done the groundwork: systems reviewed, processes mapped, frameworks outlined. But what's needed now is someone permanent to take ownership, embed best practice, and lead from the front.
You'll report to a commercially minded Financial Controller. Together, you'll run a small team that owns the numbers and helps shape how finance adds value in a complex, asset-heavy environment.
You'll benefit from a 13% employer pension and up to 15% bonus. Which isn't why you'll take the role, but it's a solid reflection of how much the business values what they need this role to deliver.
What you'll be doing:
Delivering full monthly management accounts: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow
Supporting board-level reporting with meaningful insight and performance commentary
Leading fixed asset management and capex tracking
Heading up the finance stream of an ERP implementation, from configuration to go-live
Owning financial workflows, driving process improvement, and embedding smart systems
Embedding controls and governance that work in an operational environment
What they're looking for:
A hands-on, all-round finance professional who doesn't sit back and wait to be asked
Qualified or part-qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with strong technical foundations
Ideally from a project-based, engineering-led or asset-heavy background
Proven experience with ERP implementations or finance system change
Someone who thrives in a small-team setting, isn't afraid of detail, and gets stuck in
A sharp communicator who can translate numbers into meaningful action
It's a big role in a business that's entering a critical phase. You'll be trusted, visible, and expected to make a difference quickly and consistently.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to talk
