The Organisation
We are very excited to be partnering with a privately owned, fast-growing construction business in Brisbane seeking a commercially sharp Financial Controller to work directly with the GM and Directors.
The Role
This is not your standard Financial Controller role. This is for someone who understands how projects actually run on site. You can translate daily operational performance into margin, cashflow and commercial outcomes. This is hands-on. High visibility. Operationally embedded
and is a project financial control in a multi-project, construction environment.
Responsibilities
Daily job costing & Project P&L reporting
Weekly WIP & stage of completion revenue recognition
Forecast cost-to-complete & margin-to-complete
Project cashflow forecasting & progress claim tracking
Commercial exposure to delays, variations & liquidated damages
Labour productivity KPI dashboards
Payroll, AP and AR oversight (blue-collar workforce exposure preferred)
BAS/IAS and statutory compliance
Monthly management reporting & statutory compliance
You'll work directly with Project Managers and site teams: challenging assumptions, identifying overruns early, and protecting margin.
Qualifications
5+ years in a similar Financial Controller / Senior Finance role
Strong WIP, job costing and project controls background
Construction, mining or infrastructure experience
Experience in multi-project environments
Comfortable challenging operational stakeholders
Hands-on, detail oriented, commercially assertive
This role requires someone who understands contracting environments, not purely corporate or audit backgrounds.
The Opportunity:
$160-180k + Super
Direct access to GM & Directors
Influence commercial outcomes in real time
Strengthen systems, controls and reporting
Be embedded in operations, not sitting behind them
