Job Description

  • Driving capital integrity across an extensive national asset footprint, this permanent, full-time position is central to protecting commercial margins within an evolving utility-scale energy infrastructure environment. Operating from The Winelands in Cape Town with expected national travel, the role commands full ownership of intricate contract cash flows, resource tracking, and operational risk containment for high-value infrastructure deployments. Demanding the strategic acumen of a Senior Financial Controller with a deep, specialized foundation in project accounting within heavy construction, engineering, or infrastructure environments, it offers a critical opportunity for a senior specialist to anchor compliance and long-term viability for major national development initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Commercial Margin Tracking & Analysis: Lead commercial asset reviews and tracking systems, verifying that capital allocations, resource hours, and supply chains align against planned fiscal margins.
  • Contractual Milestone Execution: Manage multi-tiered commercial contract billing structures, processing stage-gate valuations and high-value project retention cycles safely.
  • Capital Protection & Treasury Oversight: Guide complex treasury flows to insulate ongoing operations, ensuring liquidity matches requirements for multi-site deployment, specialised suppliers, and vendor accounts.
  • Strategic Fiscal Planning: Direct annual group financial forecasting models and adapt predictive pipelines to reflect active construction milestones.
  • Risk Governance & Controls: Formulate, enforce, and standardise governance frameworks to defend distributed inventory, asset registries, and regional logistics chains from risk exposure.
  • Statutory Oversight & External Audit: Command final close processes and act as the principal point of contact for external auditors and South African revenue authorities.
  • Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) & Capital Raising Support: Provide financial due diligence, advanced financial modeling, and scenario testing to support capital-raising initiatives and potential M&A transactions.
  • Advanced Financial Modelling: Build, maintain, and stress-test complex integrated financial models (Three-Statement, DCF, and project finance models) to evaluate contract profitability, debt-service capacity, and strategic growth.
  • Strategic Tax Management: Oversee corporate tax compliance, optimize tax structures for complex project contracts, and manage risks related to VAT, employee tax (PAYE), and corporate income tax within the heavy industry sector.

Requirements

  • SA Citizen
  • Grade 12
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, CA(SA) or CIMA
  • 10+ years of progressive financial steering or project accounting management, specifically within an engineering or infrastructure environment.
  • Advanced skills in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) frameworks.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel capabilities for project variance analysis and financial reporting.
  • Proven experience building complex financial models from scratch to support strategic corporate decisions or project financing.
  • Direct exposure to M&A processes or capital-raising initiatives (e.g., debt structuring, private equity, or corporate restructuring).
  • Strong working knowledge of corporate tax compliance and structuring within South Africa (SARS frameworks, VAT on progress billings, etc.).

Benefits

  • Work Type: On-site (with required national travel)
  • Location: Cape Winelands
