Job Description

Are you a commercially savvy Financial Manager ready to step in, take ownership, and drive financial control in a dynamic project-driven environment?

A growing and operationally focused business in the energy and infrastructure space is looking for a hands-on Financial Manager to join their team on a 3-month contract. This is an opportunity to make an immediate impact, strengthen controls, and support leadership with clear, data-driven financial insight.

What this role is about:

You’ll take full responsibility for the finance function — from strategic planning and reporting to procurement oversight, BOQ accuracy, and cash flow management. This is a visible, high-impact role suited to someone confident, detail-driven, and comfortable operating across finance and operations.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and KPI reporting
  • Oversee month-end and year-end processes, financial statements, and tax compliance
  • Manage procurement, vendor negotiations, and inventory/stores controls
  • Ensure accuracy and cost alignment within the BOQ process
  • Drive cash flow management, working capital optimisation, and treasury oversight
  • Strengthen internal controls, compliance, and risk management processes
  • Lead and performance-manage the finance team to achieve KPI targets

What we’re looking for:

  • Qualified finance professional (CA(SA), SAIPA, or CIMA)
  • Strong experience in financial reporting, controls, and operational finance
  • Exposure to procurement, contracts, or project-based environments
  • Solid understanding of BOQ, costing, and supplier management
  • Proven leadership ability and strong stakeholder engagement skills
  • Hands-on, solutions-driven, and immediately available (or available on short notice)

What’s in it for you:

  • Immediate leadership exposure in a project-driven business
  • Opportunity to refine processes and leave a lasting impact
  • Collaborative, performance-focused culture
  • Competitive contract remuneration

If you’re ready to step in and make a measurable difference over the next three months, we’d love to hear from you.
