Kier is looking for a Finance Manager to join our growing Nuclear & Energy business unit and play a key role in the successful delivery of Sizewell C. As the business targets significant growth over the next three years, including revenues of more than £300m by 2030, Sizewell C will be central to that ambition, supported by more than £30bn of investment. Following Kier's recent award of over £80m of infrastructure and civil engineering works at Sizewell, this role will provide day-to-day finance business partnering to the delivery team, ensuring robust financial oversight, accurate accounts and clear insight to support effective decision-making.

• Preparing the weekly 13-week cashflow forecast, working with the commercial team to identify risks, opportunities and actions to optimise cash performance
• Maintaining control of project balance sheet areas, including WIP, debtors, GRNI and ledger reconciliations
• Supporting working day reviews, providing variance analysis and highlighting significant deviations at the earliest opportunity
