Full Job Description

Step into a high-impact role as a Project Cost Controller, where you’ll partner closely with the Commercial Manager to drive the financial success of a diverse portfolio spanning machine builds, capital projects, and service operations. This is more than cost control - it’s about shaping performance, influencing decisions, and ensuring every project delivers maximum value.

You’ll take ownership of project financials end-to-end, from budgeting and forecasting through to cost monitoring, recovery, and profitability analysis.

In this role, you’ll champion strong financial governance - ensuring all project spend aligns with approved budgets, internal policies, and compliance frameworks- while maintaining accurate, transparent reporting across the business.

You’ll also lead a small team, streamline invoicing and admin processes, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance overall business performance.

If you are commercially astute, detail-driven, and ready to make a tangible impact in a dynamic project environment, this is your opportunity to lead from the front and shape how projects deliver value.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the commercial and financial management of machine builds, CAPEX programs, and related projects, ensuring strong cost control, cost recovery, and margin optimisation.
Monitor project and CAPEX financial performance, delivering timely insights, variance analysis, and actionable recommendations to support decision-making.
Drive accurate cost tracking and implement corrective actions to protect and enhance project profitability.
Manage and maintain service profitability, ensuring alignment with commercial targets and lifecycle performance expectations.
Ensure robust financial governance, aligning expenditure with approved budgets, delegation of authority, and compliance requirements.
Oversee invoicing processes to ensure alignment with project milestones and contractual obligations.
Partner with operations, finance, and sales teams to improve cost visibility, commercial discipline, and operational efficiency.
Drive accurate cost tracking, variance analysis, and implementation of corrective actions to protect and enhance profitability.
Champion continuous improvement in cost control, reporting, and commercial governance processes.
Support the Commercial Manager with commercial planning activities, including budgeting, forecasting, and profitability analysis across the project and CAPEX portfolio.

About you

Degree in project management, commerce, finance or related discipline
At least 3–5 years’ experience in project-based roles, with demonstrated involvement in project financial management, cost control, and commercial delivery.

Desirable

A recognised Project Management certification (e.g., PRINCE2, PMP) highly regarded.
Experience in construction, mining or heavy equipment industry is advantageous.

Benefits

Global Company – Job Stability
Generous employee benefits, including 5 days bonus leave days, paid parental leave, early access to Long Service Leave
Ongoing Development and career progression
Corporate Health Insurance Discount
Generous discounts for goods & services via our employee benefits program
