A great fit for anyone looking to build a long-term career while contributing to the future of sustainable energy.
Your new role
This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of financial performance across a diverse portfolio of projects in a highly visible role. You will drive accurate financial tracking and reporting, delivering clear insight into cost allocation, revenue recognition, and project profitability, while producing high-quality monthly reporting that genuinely informs decision-making. Beyond the day-to-day, this role offers the chance to make a real impact by driving system and process improvements, enhancing reporting capabilities, and championing best practice across the finance function.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified ACCA, CIMA or ACA with proven experience in project or management accounting, ideally gained within a fast-paced environment. You will bring strong expertise in budgeting and forecasting, alongside advanced Excel and financial systems skills. With excellent communication abilities, you will be confident influencing and partnering with non-finance stakeholders across the business. A proactive, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused mindset is essential, with the drive to continually improve processes and add commercial value.

What you'll get in return
Offering a salary of £45,000 - £55,000 plus a competitive bonus scheme, this hybrid role provides the perfect balance of flexibility and collaboration. You'll also benefit from a strong private pension package and a comprehensive benefits offering. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. You'll gain exposure to high-profile projects and work closely with senior stakeholders, giving you real visibility and impact across the business.
