About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Project Finance Manager to take ownership of financial management and performance on a major infrastructure project. Embedded within the project delivery team, you will work closely with the Project Manager, commercial team and project leaders to provide timely financial insight, maintain strong controls and support informed commercial decisions. This is a hands-on project position with direct accountability for budgeting, forecasting, reporting, cash flow, financial governance and project controls. The role is dedicated to the successful delivery of the project and is not a broader corporate finance support position.

• partner with project and commercial leaders to support key decisions
• monitor revenue, margin, financial risks and project performance
• review accruals, provisions, cost allocations and revenue recognition
• maintain robust financial controls and accurate project reporting
• challenge forecast assumptions and identify risks and opportunities
• support month-end processes, audits and governance reviews
• identify opportunities to protect margin and improve cash generation
• develop the capability and effectiveness of the project finance team.

About You

You are a commercially focused finance leader who understands the financial drivers of complex construction and infrastructure projects.

You enjoy working close to project delivery, building strong relationships with operational and commercial teams, and turning financial information into practical advice and action.

You will bring:

• significant finance experience within construction, infrastructure or another project-based environment
• strong project budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting capability
• a sound understanding of project controls and contract financial management
• demonstrated commercial judgement and business-partnering experience
• experience influencing project, operational and commercial stakeholders
• strong financial governance, compliance and risk-management capability
• advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
• a bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, Commerce or Business.

We recognise that we are strengthened by diversity, and we embrace differences as an equal opportunity employer providing a flexible and inclusive workplace.

So, join our team, be yourself and help us power futures and create legacies.

We’re a purpose and values-led business guided by our values of family, empowered, collaborative and driven. For further details on what makes BMD unique, head to https://www.bmdgroup.global/careers
