Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain cost management processes and systems for projects, including renewables and power generation.

You will also need strong experience with Microsoft Office (intermediate to advanced), PRISM, and SAP, as well as excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex data sets.

Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams are essential, as is attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

Relevant tertiary qualifications in finance, accounting, engineering, or a related discipline are highly desirable.
