Ready for a new challenge? 

We are entering an exciting growth phase focused on cutting-edge data centre construction. We aren't looking for someone to just "crunch numbers" - we are looking for a Finance Business Partner who can act as a vital bridge between our business units, finance and senior management. 

While this position encompasses the end-to-end project accounting function, expertise in Capital budgeting and forecasting is the cornerstone of the role. In this role, you won't just manage data; you will refine our forecasting and transform complex project information into a meaningful narrative that drives high-level decision-making and real impact across the organisation.

• Manage all project accounting activities, including monthly project journals, accruals, cost adjustments and reallocations, budget transfers, and project financial close

• Maintain project master data across all relevant systems, including project codes, project-level cost codes, and associated general ledger accounts  
• Perform monthly reconciliation and reporting of actual project expenditure and commitments against approved project budgets  
• Lead monthly project budget reviews with Project Managers and provide expenditure reforecasts as inputs into month-end reporting processes  
• Prepare and deliver project-level capital expenditure forecasts as part of the annual corporate planning process  
• Collaborate with the Fixed Assets team to ensure work-in-progress balances are reconciled monthly and transferred to the Fixed Assets Register for timely depreciation  
• Partner with project delivery teams to establish and maintain compliance with financial policies, procedures, and governance requirements  
• Act as a key liaison between Finance and the business for project accounting matters, including capital expenditure forecasts for insurance premiums, Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reporting, and internal and external audit requirements  
• Undertake other ad hoc duties as assigned by the manager  

About you  

The preferable candidate will be a disciplined finance professional who thrives in a capital-intensive environment and possesses a natural aptitude for financial technology. 

• Proven experience in complex financial modelling, budgeting, and forecasting within construction, infrastructure, or a similar capex-heavy industry. 
• Passionate about efficiency and "working smarter." You possess advanced skills in Power tools and you enjoy using them to streamline large datasets and automate manual processes. 
• Ability to manage high-volume data with precision to create clarity and efficiency. 
• Highly developed interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and articulate financial outcomes clearly to non-finance audiences. 
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, with a focus on continuous process improvement and the adoption of emerging financial technologies. 
• Comfortable with change and excited by the prospect of using AI and new technologies to stay ahead of the curve.
