• Work closely with Site Administration and the Brisbane P2P team to maintain strong procurement and invoice controls.
• Manage and resolve issues relating to unmatched invoices, goods receipts and open purchase orders.
• Drive improvements in P2P compliance, reporting and financial governance.
• Provide training and support to site-based Administration, Purchasing and Operational teams on key financial processes.

Commercial Support

• Support the preparation of monthly project claims and contractual reporting requirements.
• Provide financial and commercial advice to project leaders and contract managers.
• Assist with the management of supplier and subcontractor agreements in conjunction with Legal and Commercial teams.
• Monitor commercial risks and opportunities, ensuring effective contract and cost management across the project.

About You

• Tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Commerce or Finance.
• CPA or CA qualification (or working towards completion).
• Previous experience in management accounting, project accounting or site-based accounting environments.
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.

• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with ERP systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence both financial and operational teams.
