GM Finance - Construction

This is not a tidy up role.
This is a build role.

If you are a senior finance leader in construction who is bored with reporting for the sake of reporting, keep reading.

This business is at a genuine inflection point. Strong balance sheet. Serious project pipeline. Ambitious growth plans. What it does not yet have is a clear commercial owner of finance.

That is where you come in.

Why this role exists:

The CEO wants a true finance partner, not a back-office scorekeeper.

Someone who can sit at the executive table and shape decisions, not just explain them after the fact.

You will own the finance end-to-end. Reporting. Cash. Controls. Treasury. Commercial insight. No stepping on toes. No founder micromanagement. Real accountability.

What success actually looks like Within the first 12 to 18 months, you will have:

• Established yourself as the trusted financial partner to the CEO
• Brought clarity and confidence to board and parent company reporting
• Embedded commercial rigour into tenders and major project decisions
• Built fit for purpose controls that protect the business without slowing it down
• Created a clear roadmap for scaling finance as revenue continues to grow

This is a role where people will feel the impact of your work across the business.

The work you will love:

• Construction and project-based accounting with real complexity
• Cash and treasury management where cash is a strategic advantage, not a constraint
• Partnering with estimating and operations before decisions are made
• Balancing commercial agility with governance in a high-risk environment
• Leading and uplifting an established finance team

The type of person this suits:

You are already operating at a senior finance leadership level in construction, engineering, infrastructure or contracting.

You understand revenue recognition, project margins, bonds, working capital swings and why timing matters.

You enjoy being hands-on when needed but think strategically by default.
You want ownership, influence, and a role where your judgment actually matters.

The upside:

• Executive level exposure and genuine influence
• A business on a clear growth trajectory
• A seat at the table during a critical scale phase
• The chance to build something properly, not inherit someone else’s mess

One important thing

Construction experience is non-negotiable.

If you want a role where finance drives outcomes, not just reports on them, this one is worth a conversation.
