Chief Financial Officer

A privately-backed infrastructure and construction services business needs a CFO who can operate in a cash-sensitive environment, stabilise performance, and help build something worth owning.

The situation

The business operates across multiple service lines in the UK infrastructure sector. It's in a performance recovery phase - cash discipline, forecasting credibility, and project-level financial control are the immediate priorities. The medium-term goal is profitable growth and a strong value creation story. The CFO will report to the CEO and sit on the executive leadership team.

What you'll be doing

— Own the cash position

— liquidity headroom, lender relationships, working capital discipline

— Fix the forecasting

— short and medium-term, credible, and trusted by the board

— Get proper visibility on project performance

— cost-to-complete, margin, commercial risk

— Partner with operational leaders to drive accountability, not just report on it

— Lead the finance function through a period of change

— capability, not just compliance

— Support refinancing, investor reporting, and future exit preparation

What we need from you

— Real experience in contracting, construction, infrastructure, or utilities, this is non-negotiable

— You've worked in a leveraged, cash-constrained, or turnaround environment before

— Operationally hands-on

— Credible with lenders and boards
