Randstad Senior Finance is partnering with an FMCG business who are looking to recruit an experienced Project Financial Controller on a fixed term contract for 18 months.

  • Establish and maintain robust financial controls and governance frameworks to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.
  • Provide accurate and timely financial analysis to inform key business decisions and project strategy.

You will have:

  • Strong technical accounting skills and a deep understanding of financial controls and governance.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to partner effectively with construction, finance and non-finance teams.
  • A proactive and meticulous approach, with a keen eye for detail.
  • The ability to work autonomously and thrive in a fast-paced project environment.

This is a hybrid opportunity that will afford the successful candidate the ability to split their time between several locations, namely working from home, working from the builders offices in Port Melbourne and the company offices Melbourne CBD. Occasional, as-required, travel to the site of the new facility in regional Victoria (3 hours from Melbourne) will also be required. This will be expected once or twice per month.
