SUMMARY:

This is an opportunity for an Accountant who understands that the numbers tell the story of manufacturing efficiency. See the direct impact of your work on production lines, strategic cost-saving initiatives, and capital-intensive projects.

POSITION INFO:
Join a cornerstone of South African industry, a leader in primary and fabricated metal manufacturing with a significant footprint across the continent. Our business, built on engineering excellence and a robust supply chain, relies on a sharp finance function to drive cost control, manage capital investment, and ensure profitability in a dynamic global market.

Step into a high-impact Financial Accountant position where you will go beyond reporting to enable smarter business decisions. You will be the go-to expert for the financial data that matters most in a foundry and fabrication environment: Raw material and alloy costs, inventory valuation, plant utilization, and overhead absorption.

Key Responsibilities:

Full ownership of financial statements and complex manufacturing account reconciliations, with a focus on work-in-progress (WIP) and fixed asset registers.
Play a key role in the annual budget and quarterly forecasts, analyzing key cost drivers like scrap rates, energy consumption, and labour efficiency.
Ensure the integrity of all financial reporting, providing a clear and accurate picture of operational performance for management and group reporting.
Leverage the ERP system to streamline financial processes, improve data accuracy, and provide insights into production costs.
Support capital expenditure (CAPEX) project analysis and post-implementation reviews.

Job Experience & Skills Required:

SAICA-accredited BCom Accounting Degree.
Completed SAICA articles (trainee contract) is essential.
3-5 years of post-articles experience in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment.
Proficient in a major ERP system (SAP, Oracle, and JDE).
A background in metal manufacturing, mining, heavy engineering, or automotive will make you a standout candidate, with a strong understanding of standard costing and production variances.
