Bring your financial expertise to projects powering the energy transition.

From connecting offshore wind farms to strengthening electricity grids and integrating battery storage, these projects need sharp financial insight alongside technical expertise. As Project Controller, you’ll join an international grid technology business and work closely with Project Managers to drive successful project delivery. You’ll take ownership of the financial and commercial picture—from budgets and cash flow to contracts, risks and customer discussions.

Your responsibilities include:

• Managing project budgets, forecasts, cost control and financial reporting.
• Overseeing invoicing, cash flow and project financial administration.
• Identifying and managing commercial risks, contractual obligations and claims.
• Supporting sales proposals with cost calculations and credit checks.
• Working with customers on commercial matters and potential negotiations.
• Coordinating with legal, procurement, logistics and tax specialists across international teams.
• Ensuring accurate project setup in SAP and compliance with internal financial controls.

You’ll report to the Business Unit Finance Manager.

What you bring

• An HBO/Bachelor’s degree in Business Economics, Business Administration or a related field—or equivalent expertise gained through experience.
• At least three years’ experience in a similar role.
• Strong analytical skills and a structured, accurate approach.
• Confidence working with SAP, Excel and other MS Office tools.
• Strong communication skills in both Dutch and English.
• A hands‑on mindset, commercial curiosity and the ability to manage deadlines independently and with a team.

Experience in project controlling and contract management is an advantage.

Why this opportunity?

This is a chance to work close to the business, influence project decisions and contribute to infrastructure that supports the energy transition. You’ll combine finance, customer contact and international collaboration in a role with clear ownership.
