Project Finance Director, PE backed Infrastructure, London (with UK travel)
Salary c£100k + bonus
An exceptional opportunity has arisen to join a rapidly growing, private equity-backed infrastructure group operating across the UK's critical transport and power sectors.
The business is entering an ambitious phase of development, with a clear strategy to exceed £1bn in revenue through a combination of strong organic growth and continued acquisition activity.
This is a highly visible divisional finance leadership role within a commercially focused and acquisitive environment. Reporting directly to the CFO, the successful candidate will partner closely with divisional Managing Directors and senior commercial and operational leaders to drive performance, strengthen financial control and support the integration of newly acquired businesses.
