​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 renewables

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

• Operationally hands-on

• Credible with lenders and boards
