  • Manage, mentor, and develop the finance team, fostering a culture of high performance and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with operational leadership to evaluate Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) projects, providing financial modelling and post-investment appraisal to guide strategic decisions.

  • Completed CIMA qualification.
  • Minimum of 5-7 years of experience in a finance management role, with a significant portion in a manufacturing, heavy industry, or mining environment.
  • Proven, in-depth experience in a metal manufacturing or related heavy industry is highly advantageous.
