Summary
Join a leading infrastructure and construction group as a Senior Finance Manager overseeing financial management across high-value development projects. This Sydney-based, office-based role is pivotal in driving financial discipline, commercial insight and robust project performance.
With a mandate that spans financial forecasting, cost control, budgeting, corporate funding support and operational finance oversight, this position offers the opportunity to influence outcomes across complex, large-scale development programs in sectors such as infrastructure, renewables and property.
Responsibilities
- Lead financial management, budgeting and cost control for major development projects.
- Deliver accurate forecasting, modelling and cost-to-complete analysis.
- Translate feasibility business cases into financial outcomes and project performance metrics.
- Support development of corporate funding solutions in collaboration with accounting, tax and treasury.
- Oversee accounts payable/receivable accuracy, invoice approvals and cost allocations.
- Ensure strong financial governance, controls and reporting discipline across projects.
You are a commercially minded finance leader with deep experience in development finance across sectors such as renewables, property or construction. You bring strong project finance capability, with a track record of managing budgets, optimising cost performance and guiding financial outcomes on complex, multi-year development programs. Collaborative and engaging, you work effectively with accounting, tax, treasury, project delivery teams and offshore support functions to drive clarity, solve problems and ensure funding and financial structures are fit-for-purpose.
You demonstrate operational ownership and accountability — ensuring accuracy across A/P and A/R processing, invoice workflow, cost allocation and financial controls. You’re proactive, resilient and an effective communicator who can influence stakeholders at all levels while maintaining a disciplined, detail-oriented approach. Your work style aligns with a culture grounded in safety, integrity, innovation and delivery.
Why It’s a Great Role
This is a career-defining opportunity to lead finance for high-value, industry-shaping development projects within a major infrastructure and development organisation. You’ll have exposure to senior leaders, complex commercial structures, and the chance to directly influence project viability, funding solutions and long-term value creation.
You’ll join a collaborative, high-performance environment where your commercial insight, project finance expertise and ability to drive disciplined financial outcomes will make a material impact on the group’s success and strategic growth.
