Lead external audit processes and maintain strong relationships with auditors, advisors, and financial institutions
Drive continuous improvement across financial systems, reporting capability, and digital transformation initiatives, including the use of AI and automation
Develop and mentor a high-performing finance team, with a focus on capability building, succession planning, and engagement
Support strategic planning initiatives and play a key role in evaluating growth opportunities, investments, and capital allocation
Contribute to the Whittens Family Office, including financial oversight and investment strategy support

About You

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or Accounting (essential); CA/CPA highly regarded
Minimum 10 years’ experience in a senior finance leadership role, ideally within civil construction, contracting, or project-based industries
Strong commercial acumen with demonstrated experience partnering at executive and Board level
Proven capability in financial control, governance, compliance, and enterprise risk management
Experience leading high-performing teams and building strong finance functions
Advanced understanding of project financials, cost control, and forecasting in complex environments
Excellent communication, influencing, and stakeholder engagement skills

WHAT WE OFFER:
Whittens are committed to investing in our people and rewarding the skills and experience you bring. As well as this long-term permanent opportunity and the chance to be part of our growth and success, we offer:

Competitive salary package plus super paid weekly
Work amongst engaged leaders and collaborative project teams
Work in a culture driven by our “Keeping our mates safe” mantra
