Are you driven by the challenge of turning financial data into strategic business insights? Do you want to play a key role in advancing the renewable energy sector alongside Wind Estate? If you possess strong analytical skills, a solid controlling toolbox, an eye for detail, and are commercially focused, we have an exciting opportunity for you.
Wind Estate is a long-time prominent player in the renewable energy sector and one of Denmark’s leading developers with a 25-year company history. We have a robust mix of a strong future-proof development pipeline and a significant well-run fleet, generating renewable energy in Denmark and the UK.
With a commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation, Wind Estate focuses on harnessing the power of wind and solar to generate clean and renewable electricity.
To further strengthen our Financial Planning & Analysis team, we are looking for a Project & Cost Controller to primarily support the organisation with financial analysis and world-class cost controlling, but also to add value by applying commercial structure and mindset to our project management capabilities and operations team.
Key Responsibilities
The role is functionally rooted in our Finance department but focused on cost controlling and commercial support to our Project Delivery and Operations organisation. You will support Wind Estate by:
Project Delivery
- Cost- and cash flow controlling and reporting of CAPEX for our renewable construction projects in DK and UK
- Ensure accuracy and transparency of the project’s overall financial status according to the approved budgets
- Supporting and challenging Project Managers by taking lead on commercial and financial aspects of all project supplier contracts, including payment profile, liabilities, obligations, guarantees etc.
- Ad hoc financial business partner support of the Project Delivery Director and the rest of the Project Delivery team with commercial insight on project financials and business cases
- With support from the Project Delivery Director build up a solid and consistent cost controlling process for all cost-related activities in the department
- Monthly financial CAPEX status reporting to the Project Delivery Director.
Operations
- Budgeting, cost controlling and reporting of O&M costs for our ~320MW portfolio of operational wind turbines in DK and UK
- Analysis of OPEX cost and verification of cost assumptions
- Ad hoc financial business partner support of COO and the rest of Operations with commercial insight and business cases on repairs, upgrades, lifetime extensions etc.
- Developing and implementing financial reporting procedures for increased financial transparency for the operations team
- Monthly financial OPEX status reporting to COO and Operations team.
About you
You hold a MSc in business, finance or the like and ideally have solid experience from a similar position working on complex, capital intensive projects within wind, PV, other infrastructure or a similar industry. Preferably, this has provided you with extensive experience within project- and cost controlling, and knowledge around other relevant disciplines such as reporting, project management and commercial contract management.
To succeed in the role, we expect you to have a bright analytical mind and know your way around Excel and PowerPoint. Your attention to details is second to none and you are motivated by number crunching and translating data into value driven business insights. We use MS Business Central as our ERP system, so experience with Business Central, BI tools etc. is an advantage.
You like to create structure and keep your eyes on the target. That being said, you are also flexible and able to adapt when business demands you to do so.
What We Offer
You will be part of an organisation with an entrepreneurial mindset and a can-do attitude. We are curious, and progress is at the forefront. We dare to think big and new, and the willingness to “dare to fail” is a natural part of the process. You will be empowered to fulfil your tasks with no micro-management and your personal and professional development is important to us.
The position is based in Randers, Denmark, with flexibility to work from home subject to the nature of the work and assignments.
The Company
The portfolio of Wind Estate reflects a solid and robust range of projects from early-stage development till decommissioning.
We develop, build, own, and operate renewable wind and solar energy projects in Denmark and the United Kingdom. We have an ambitious growth strategy for 2030, focusing on our project pipeline, technologies, and geography. We take pride in our business and remain humble in the face of the task at hand, which is to ensure the accelerated expansion of green energy and the growth of our company in a responsible and economically viable manner, all while maintaining our commitment to being a nurturing, secure, and enjoyable workplace.
