Cobb & Jones are recruiting exclusively for an FP&A Manager on a 6 Month Fixed Term Contract for our client based near Dartford. The company are a globally respected engineering and construction innovator with a bold vision to transform the built environment through modern methods of construction, digital engineering, and sustainability leadership. With operations spanning the UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond, this organisation is behind some of the most complex and iconic infrastructure and building projects in the world.

Driven by a deep commitment to excellence, technology, and talent, they’re reshaping the future of construction—pioneering new approaches, embracing cutting-edge digital tools, and fostering an inclusive and progressive workplace culture. Their people-first philosophy, investment in leadership development, and relentless focus on safety and innovation make them one of the most forward-thinking employers in the industry.

We’re looking for a sharp, ambitious and detail-driven Finance Planning & Analysis Manager to join a high-performing Group Finance team and drive forward critical planning, forecasting and analytical functions across UK, Europe, and Australia operations.

Responsibilities:

• Own the group monthly forecasting and budgeting processes – analyse, challenge, and shape the financial direction of the business.
• Deliver insightful reporting and executive-level commentary to drive strategic decision-making.
• Consolidate and report monthly Group cashflow forecasts and partner closely with international teams.
• Lead financial modelling for key business scenarios and support investment and operational decisions with powerful analysis.
• Collaborate with Group Strategy, Transformation and Treasury teams to support long-range planning and performance governance.
• Identify and champion process improvements, systems enhancements and alignment opportunities across global hubs.

Profile:

• A qualified accountant (ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• A confident communicator who can engage and influence senior leaders – finance and non-finance alike.
• Experience in a fast-paced, evolving environment, with strong attention to accuracy and detail.
• Expertise in cashflow forecasting, liquidity management, and performance analysis.
• Highly motivated, analytical and resilient, with a knack for solving complex problems in innovative ways.
• Advanced skills in Excel, Power BI, PowerPoint or Python.
• Experience in engineering or construction industries.
• A passion for transformation, systems, and strategic planning.

Why This Role?

You’ll play a vital role in shaping the future of a global, high-impact organisation, working across continents and functions. Your insights will directly inform decisions at the highest levels, and your drive will help evolve financial strategy and planning across the Group. Whilst this may be an FTC rather than a permanent position, it’s a key role in facilitating the required restructure and growth.
