If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We have an opportunity for you to join our Finance team. In this role you’ll support and partner the Ground Water Treatment functional areas in the delivery of their business plan. The successful candidate will own consolidated reporting of operational areas (including Opex/Capex/IRE), assist in the reporting of monthly numbers and help the business to ensure all costs are captured correctly in the system.
You will also assist with month end posting and reporting for STW, collaborating with various stakeholders to improve our understanding of spend.
Some of your other key accountabilities will include:
* Support in the monthly finance meetings with operational team managers and Business Leads to help them understand their data better.
* Take ownership of the efficiencies within our plan. This would involve liaising with various stakeholders across STW, validating efficiencies as they arise.
* Collaborate with stakeholders across the business to improve the quality and visibility of financial information and reporting variances to budget.
* Posting monthly journals as required.
* Drive continuous improvement and innovation of team processes and controls.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
To be successful in this role, you will be a fast learner with a willingness to learn. You will have started your studies towards becoming a qualified accountant, and an awareness of financial control, international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and regulatory accounting requirements would be advantageous.
It’s expected that you’ll be able to build rapport with various stakeholders, so possessing excellent influencing and engagement skills would be required. The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude we want to talk to you too.
