Overview
A growing organisation within the renewable energy and construction sector is seeking a
commercially minded finance professional to join its executive team.
This role is suited to a Senior Financial Manager ready to step into a CFO-level position,

• Drive cost control and profitability across projects
• Support commercial decision-making with financial analysis
• Manage relationships with banks, auditors, and external stakeholders
• 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

Preferences
• Senior Financial Manager stepping into a CFO role
• Experience in project-based environments
• Experience in high-growth or scaling businesses
• Experience in renewable energy, construction, or EPC project environments
• Experience managing funding, project finance, or capital investment
programmes
• Mandarin language proficiency (advantageous but not essential)
