- Drive FP&A, budgeting, forecasting and performance management
- Manage, develop and scale a team of 5–6 finance professionals
- Own cashflow, working capital, billing cycles, retention and banking relationships
- Lead audit, tax and compliance across all US entities
- Improve systems, processes and reporting to support rapid growth and increasing project complexity
- Work closely with the UK-based Group CFO on group reporting, PE requirements and performance reviews
What we are looking for
- CPA or equivalent qualified accountant
- Strong technical grounding in US GAAP
- Experience operating as a Finance Director / senior finance leader
- Background in project-led, contract-based or services businesses
- Experience in construction, engineering, industrial services, infrastructure or similar environments
- Deep understanding of project accounting and revenue recognition, but with a broad FD mindset
- Commercial, pragmatic and confident operating at both detail and board level
- Proven leader who enjoys building and developing teams
- Hands-on, proactive and comfortable owning the full finance remit
- Happy being office based in Spartanburg and visible across the business
- Thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth, PE-backed environment
Why this role stands out
- Finance Leadership with commercial authority
- Number one finance leader for the USA
- Direct access to the US CEO and Group CFO
- Strong mix of commercial leadership and technical depth
- Ownership of complex, high-value projects and contracts
