Reporting to the Financial Controller - Production Operations, you will be responsible for supporting a major insurance recovery initiative, working closely with finance leaders, operational stakeholders, insurers and external representatives to analyse costs, validate financial information and prepare supporting documentation.
Alongside the project work, you'll contribute to reporting enhancements, process improvements and broader finance initiatives aimed at improving cost visibility and operational decision-making.
