Group Financial Director

Elliot Marsh
Birmingham
Our client is looking for a Group Financial Director to join the team.

Location: Birmingham

Salary: £150K

Sector: Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

Package: Executive Board‑Level + Comprehensive Benefits

About Our Client:

We are partnering with a well‑established, privately owned engineering group to appoint a Group Financial Director. This confidential search is aimed at identifying an influential finance leader who can operate confidently at board level, bringing both strategic insight and operational rigour to a complex, growing organisation.

With a long history of successful delivery across major national infrastructure programmes, the business has earned a reputation for technical excellence, trusted client relationships and a strong, people‑first culture. Continued expansion, investment and diversification mean the group is now seeking a senior financial leader to help steer its next phase of development.

Group Financial Director - The Opportunity:

This role carries full responsibility for the financial stewardship of the group. You will shape the financial agenda, strengthen governance, oversee risk, guide tax and treasury strategy, and ensure the organisation is equipped with robust systems and forward‑looking financial insight. Working closely with the CEO, Chairman, shareholders and senior leadership team, you will play a central role in long‑term planning, commercial decision‑making and organisational performance.

The position offers the chance to influence at the highest level within a values‑driven business that encourages challenge, innovation and continuous improvement. It is an opportunity to modernise processes, enhance financial capability and contribute meaningfully to the group’s strategic direction.

Group Financial Director - Key Areas of Focus:

- Leading and developing a multi‑disciplinary finance team across several business units

- Strengthening financial governance, reporting accuracy and internal controls

- Setting and overseeing tax strategy, including responsibilities as Senior Accounting Officer

- Driving the budgeting, forecasting and cash management agenda

- Assessing investment proposals and ensuring disciplined capital allocation

- Taking ownership of acquisition activity, from evaluation through to integration

- Enhancing financial systems and leading improvements to core platforms, including ERP

- Building trusted relationships with banks, auditors, insurers and external advisors

- Contributing to broader business strategy and operational performance

- Acting as a visible ambassador for the organisation’s culture and values

Group Financial Director - About You:

We are looking for a dynamic and engaging finance leader who is comfortable operating in a fast‑moving, hands‑on environment. You will bring:

- A recognised professional accounting qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)

- Experience within construction, engineering or related project‑based sectors

- A background in privately owned or family‑run businesses

- Strong commercial judgement and the ability to anticipate both opportunity and risk

- Experience supporting organisational growth, change and systems transformation

- Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to influence at senior levels

- A proactive, solutions‑focused approach and the confidence to challenge constructively

Group Financial Director - Why This Role Stands Out:

- A pivotal board‑level position within a respected UK engineering group

- Long‑term stability backed by strong financial performance

- A culture that genuinely values its people and invests in their development

- Real scope to shape the financial future of a growing organisation

- A highly competitive executive package, including profit share, private medical cover, pension, life assurance and flexible benefits
