• Contribute to risk management and financial strategy
• Lead and mentor the finance team

Requirements
• Chartered Accountant CA(SA) or equivalent professional qualification (essential)
• 10–15+ years of progressive finance experience
• Proven track record in a senior finance leadership role (CFO, Finance Director, or
equivalent)
• Significant experience within construction, EPC, infrastructure, renewable
energy, or similar project-driven sectors
• Demonstrated experience managing large, complex projects valued between
R50 million and R1 billion
• Strong commercial acumen and project finance expertise
