Are you a Controller or Senior Accountant ready to step into a high-impact role within a long-established manufacturing business with ambitious growth plans?

This is a rare opportunity to join a long-established, highly respected manufacturer with a heritage spanning over a century. The business is entering an exciting growth phase, with plans to significantly expand headcount over the next year, and this role will be central to supporting that expansion from a financial and operational standpoint.

Now is an excellent time to join as the company scales its operations and invests internally to support long-term growth. You'll work in a stable, established environment while having real influence over financial processes, cost controls, and project profitability.

You will be responsible for owning project-based cost accounting, overseeing core accounting functions, and implementing robust systems to accurately track, allocate, and report costs across complex, custom-built projects. You'll play a key role in supporting leadership with financial insight as the business continues to grow.

This role would suit an experienced Senior Accountant or Controller with a strong background in project-based, custom manufacturing or construction-style accounting, looking for long-term stability and influence within a growing organization.
