  • Coordinate with procurement and supply chain teams to ensure accurate cost allocations.
  • Project Monitoring and Reporting

  • Prepare detailed monthly / quarterly performance reports including earned value analysis, progress curves, and variance analysis.
  • Maintain project cash flow forecasts and support funding requirements.
  • Monitor key financial and operational KPIs across multiple workstreams (mining, processing, infrastructure, logistics, ESG commitments).
  • Provide scenario planning and sensitivity analysis to support project decision-making.
  • Risk and Compliance

  • Conduct risk and opportunity analysis across project phases and recommend corrective measures.
  • Ensure compliance with corporate governance, financial policies, contract obligations, and regulatory standards.
  • Support internal and external audits related to project expenditures.
  • Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as financial liaison between project teams, corporate finance, contractors, and joint venture partners.
  • Present project performance updates to senior management, investors, and board-level committees where required.
  • Support community, sustainability, and ESG reporting requirements as they relate to project costs and commitments.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Engineering, Project Management, or related field.
  • Professional certification (e.g., CIMA, CPA, CFA, PMP, Prince2) is advantageous.
  • 5+ years of experience in project controlling or financial management, preferably within the mining or natural resources sector.
  • Experience with project cost control systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Primavera, or similar).
  • Advanced MS Excel and financial modelling skills.
  • Strong knowledge of CAPEX / OPEX reporting, earned value management, and life-of-mine planning.
  • Deep financial acumen and project cost-control expertise.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills in complex, multi-phase projects.
  • Effective communication and stakeholder management across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate risks and recommend solutions.
  • Commitment to safety, sustainability, and responsible mining practices.
  • Candidates must be legally authorized to live and work in the country the position is based in, without requiring sponsorship.
