Job description

At Consilium Safety Group, we don’t just make technology, we create solutions that protect people, values, and the planet. As a global leader in fire and gas safety technology, we serve critical industries such as marine, energy, rolling stock, and critical infrastructure.

With more than 100 years of expertise, we combine deep industry knowledge with cutting‑edge innovation to shape the future of Safety Tech. We are headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, with over 55 offices worldwide.

We are a fast‑evolving global organization backed by a leading private equity firm, Antin Infrastructure Partners, continuing an ambitious journey of expansion and transformation. With strong financial support and a clear strategic vision, we are investing in innovation, operational excellence, and talent - the key drivers that will take us to the next level. A truly exciting time to join us.

About the role

As a Junior Financial Controller at Consilium Safety Netherlands, you will take ownership of the accounts receivable process while supporting a broad range of financial controlling activities.

This is a newly created position, giving you the opportunity to help shape the role as you develop. You will work closely with the Finance Manager and the wider organization, gaining exposure to areas such as project controlling, month‑end closing, intercompany transactions, and financial and sustainability reporting.

As your knowledge and experience grow, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of additional controlling activities.

What you will do

• Manage the end‑to‑end accounts receivable process, including customer invoicing, payment follow‑up, credit and collections activities, and aged receivables reporting.


• Actively communicate with customers to resolve disputed invoices and follow up on outstanding payments.


• Work together with the Finance Manager to develop project controlling reporting, with the opportunity to take ownership of this area over time.


• Regularly update project controlling reports and provide clear overviews of project status and required actions.


• Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations, including monthly recharges to the Group.


• Process credit card transactions and bank statements in Microsoft Dynamics.


• Maintain lease car administration and prepare related financial and sustainability reporting.


• Support the finance team with month‑end closing activities.


• Participate in finance improvement projects and help further develop our processes and reporting.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is ready to take the next step in their finance career and is eager to learn and grow within an international manufacturing environment.

For us, attitude, curiosity, and willingness to develop are just as important as experience. So, if the role sounds interesting but you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

Ideally, you have:

• At least an MBO diploma in Finance or a related field, combined with the ambition to continue developing professionally.


• 2–5 years of experience in finance, accounting, or a related role.


• A good command of English; fluency in Dutch is strongly preferred.


• Strong communication skills and the confidence to communicate effectively with both customers and internal stakeholders.


• A proactive and hands‑on attitude with an eye for accuracy and detail.


• Experience in credit and collections is an advantage but not a requirement.

What do we offer?

You will join a close‑knit team of enthusiastic colleagues within a dynamic, growing, and innovation‑driven international organization. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with passionate and skilled colleagues around the world while developing your finance career in a role with room to grow.

We offer:

• 38 days of paid leave per year, supporting a healthy work‑life balance


• Hybrid working, including the possibility to work from home one day per week.


• A personal learning and development budget to support your professional growth


• Travel cost reimbursement as per the company policy


• An attractive pension scheme under the CAO Metalektro


• Opportunities to develop your skills and gradually take ownership of broader financial controlling responsibilities.
