The successful candidate will take ownership of the company's financial management while working closely with operational teams, project managers and clients to maximise profitability, improve cash flow and ensure robust financial controls.

You will play a key role in ensuring all completed works are accurately captured, additional works are identified and recovered, and client submissions are made on time to support efficient billing and payment collection.

The role will have direct line management responsibility for the Estimator and Trainee Estimator, ensuring accurate estimating, commercial governance and support for project profitability.

Liaise with clients and operational teams to ensure all completed works are captured and invoiced correctly.
Ensure all completed works, variations and additional works are accurately captured, evidenced and submitted in accordance with client framework requirements.
Take ownership of Work in Progress (WIP) reporting and controls, ensuring accurate valuation and timely conversion to invoiced revenue.
Drive improvements in billing processes, payment collection performance and overall cash flow efficiency.
Monitor project profitability and provide detailed analysis on contract performance.
Support project teams with cost control, forecasting and commercial decision-making.
Ensure contractual milestones and client submission deadlines are achieved to optimise cash flow.
Develop reporting and KPIs that improve financial visibility across projects and contracts.
