Job description

Bring your energy to Aggreko as a Financial Analyst based at our Lomondgate site in Dumbarton. As a Financial Analyst, you will play a key role sitting within the Commercial division. You will partner closely with the Senior FP&A Manager and Finance Business Partners to deliver high-quality financial analysis, performance insights, and planning support, with a primary focus on our UK Manufacturing division. This role offers the opportunity to make a tangible difference by ensuring robust financial operations that support our global energy solutions. Power without pause. Heating, cooling and oil-free air without end. We keep our customers' worlds on. From world-class events that last a few weeks to mining operations and remote communities who rely on us for decades.

What you'll do as a Financial Analyst:

• Lead financial planning cycles, including annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and 5-year strategic planning, ensuring robust assumptions and accurate product pricing.
• Manage the smooth month-end close process, prepare comprehensive management reports, and deliver insightful variance analysis and commentary for key financial metrics.
• Provide detailed analysis of manufacturing costs, performance, and key operational KPIs, identifying risks, opportunities, and trends for stakeholders.
• Actively support working capital initiatives and provide thorough financial evaluation, monitoring, and tracking of capital expenditure proposals and investments.
• Ensure a strong controls environment, assist with internal and external audit queries, and support tax and compliance submissions like VAT returns.
• Drive process and data improvement initiatives, developing financial models, reports, and dashboards to enhance efficiency and automation within FP&A.

You are:

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Possessing proven experience in FP&A, management accounting, commercial finance or operational finance.
• Equipped with strong financial modelling and analytical skills, and a strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis.
• An excellent communicator with the ability to explain complex financial information to non-financial stakeholders.
• Highly proficient in Excel, with experience in Power BI being desirable.
• Able to analyse complex financial and operational data to identify key drivers and call-outs.
• Demonstrating strong attention to detail without losing sight of the wider business context.
• Experience working with manufacturing, operations or cost-based environments would be advantageous.

Here's what you'll get:

• A competitive salary and benefits package (including but not limited to pension plan, bonus scheme and Life Assurance).
• Generous holiday entitlement, with the option to buy or sell additional days.
• Discounts and perks.
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which helps promote and support a healthy lifestyle.
• The opportunity to shape and enhance the financial environment within a global business operating across multiple countries and jurisdictions.

Our people are can-do, positive, resilient and persistent.
