Project Controller - Solar parks

at  Svea Solar Sweden

The Utility business unit at Svea Solar is responsible for utility-scale (i.e., very large!) projects. We excel at the full-cycle process of developing, constructing, and managing solar energy projects that power the future.
To ensure our EPC services projects’ financial health and success, we are looking for a rigorous and commercially driven Project Controller to join the team.

ARE WE A MATCH?

We are looking for a methodical, reliable professional who drives positive change. If you excel in identifying root causes of deviations and enjoy challenging stakeholders constructively, we want to hear from you! We believe that these experiences and qualities will help you have a great start with the role:

• Several years of experience in project controlling, preferably in construction or energy.
• A detail-oriented and rigorous approach to work
• Strong analytical skills for thorough and granular analysis.
• The ability to partner with stakeholders to understand problems and find solutions.

THE ROLE

You will be a part of the Utility Services business unit that provides EPC services in building and operating solar parks across Sweden. You will work closely with project managers, procurement, and other stakeholders to ensure projects are financially sound and risks are well-managed. In collaboration with the Group Finance functions, the role plays an active part in the overall FP&A processes of Svea Solar.

In short, you will have full controlling responsibility for the department, but if you are looking for the good old bullet point list of “what will I actually do”, here it is:

• Implement cost controls to ensure individual solar parks stay within budget.
• Develop and manage budgets, forecasts, profitability metrics, and financial plans to ensure short-term and long-term financial stability on a P&L and cash flow basis.
• Convert project data into P&L statements and report deviations.
• Coach and support project leaders in creating and following up on project finances and commercial aspects.
• Perform regular liquidity forecasting and perform financial analysis to identify variances between budgeted and actual expenditures.
