Internal Auditor

Build your audit career inside a fast-expanding techno-commercial business

element is hiring for a high-growth client in the lifting solutions industry — a fast-expanding, techno-commercial business supporting critical sectors such as energy, oil & gas, marine, construction, infrastructure, material handling and industrial projects.

This is a business where technical expertise, commercial speed and operational reliability come together. As the company expands its market presence, strengthens its systems and manages increasingly complex projects, it is building stronger governance, controls and accountability across every function.

We are looking for an Internal Auditor who wants to grow with that journey.

This is not a role focused only on checking invoices, ticking boxes or identifying procedural gaps after the event. It is an opportunity to understand how a growing industrial business operates, identify where value or control may be lost, strengthen business processes and help leadership make better-informed decisions.

In a fast-growing business, risks rarely announce themselves.

They appear as:

• A purchase made without adequate comparison.
• Inventory that cannot be fully traced.
• A commercial approval that was never documented.
• A customer balance that remains unresolved.
• A process that works differently in every department.
• A control that exists on paper but not in practice.

The Internal Auditor will provide an independent and evidence-based view of how effectively the company’s processes, controls and governance practices are operating.

You will help the business grow — with control.

You will help teams move faster — with accountability.

You will help leadership identify risk — before it becomes loss, disruption or exposure.
