The renewable energy market is currently developing at an ever growing pace and we need an experienced financial management professional to join the party.

The Financial Controller will partner with the senior leadership team to establish appropriate financial controls for planning and operations management. As the company grows, the successful candidate will participate in the development of other Accounting and Controls contributors by coaching and mentoring junior staff members and provide training, review, feedback, guidance, and appraisal.
