From starting out in Taranaki our Firstgas, Rockgas, First Renewables, Flexgas and Gas Service NZ operations now span the length and breadth of Aotearoa — so you’re never far away from our good energy.

Job Description

He mea whakamiharo koe Cost Controller? (Are you an amazing Cost Controller?)

We’re looking for a talented new team member to help us keep the good energy flowing in our Project Services team.

Based at our Bell Block office, you’ll help our project teams make well-informed financial decisions and keep projects on track. Your timely advice and analysis will support the early identification of cost pressures and risks, and improve our estimating accuracy, while helping strengthen our project cost management practices.

In this interesting and varied role, you can expect to:

  • Review and monitor project estimates and budgets.
  • Identify cost risks and provide practical guidance to help project teams manage them.
  • Monitor project expenditure and cost variances against approved baselines.
  • Support project change control, forecasting and financial reporting.
  • Analyse project costs and use the insights to improve the accuracy of future estimates.
  • Help develop effective work breakdown structures and project cost controls.
  • Support and coach project managers and teams in cost control systems and processes.
  • Maintain cost control tools, governance documents, policies and procedures.
  • Look for smarter, more efficient ways to improve our processes, systems and reporting.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys turning financial information into useful insights, building trusted relationships and helping others feel confident with project costs.

Along with your relevant qualification, you’ll bring experience in project cost control, project accounting, finance or a similar commercial environment.

You’ll also bring:

  • Strong numerical, analytical and problem-solving capability.
  • Experience with project estimating, budgeting, reporting or cost analysis.
  • Confidence working with Microsoft Excel and other business systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
