SUMMARY:
If you’re the kind of Cost Controller who can spot a budget leak faster than most people spot a typo, and you thrive in gritty, industrial environments, then this is the project-driven adventure that your career has been waiting for.

POSITION INFO:
A leading organisation in the manufacturing, construction, and mining space is looking for a dynamic Project Cost Controller / Accountant who can bring precision, insight, and financial discipline to large-scale, high-impact projects.

Based in Springs with hybrid working flexibility, this role offers the best of both worlds: Hands-on project involvement and the freedom to work remotely when needed.

This is a place where real industry meets real impact — and where your numbers help build, shape, and power the tough industries that keep the economy moving.

Why you should work here: Because you’re not just tracking costs — you’re influencing strategic decisions. You’ll work on big projects, drive cost efficiency, gain exposure across multiple industries, and use modern tools like ODOO to keep everything sharp and streamlined.

Key Responsibilities:

Full project cost control across multiple large-scale industrial projects
Monitor budgets, forecasts, variances, and cost performance
Drive financial tracking, reporting, and analysis
Manage multi-currency project transactions and financial flows
Utilise ODOO for project management, costing, and reporting
Support operations, finance, and project teams with analytical insights

Job Experience & Skills Required:

BCom & CIMA – essential
5+ years in cost controlling or project accounting
Experience in manufacturing, construction, or mining – highly advantageous
Strong multi-currency and project finance exposure
Proficiency in ODOO or similar ERP systems
Analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in high-intensity environments
