The Utility business unit at Svea Solar is responsible for utility-scale (i.e., very large!) projects. We excel at the full-cycle process of developing, constructing, and managing solar energy projects that power the future.

To ensure our projects' financial health and success, we are looking for a rigorous and commercially driven Business Controller to join the team.

We are looking for a methodical, reliable professional who drives positive change. If you excel in identifying root causes of deviations and enjoy challenging stakeholders constructively, we want to hear from you!

The team

You will be a part of the Utility business unit that develops and invests in large scale solar parks, provides EPC services by building and operating solar parks across Sweden.

You will work closely with project managers, procurement, and other stakeholders to ensure projects are financially sound and risks are well-managed. In collaboration with the Group Finance functions, the role plays an active part in the overall FP&A processes of Svea Solar. You will be reporting to the Utility CFO.

Your controller colleague Philip Stolina wants to say welcome already now:

“Svea Solar Utility is still a young company, and I truly appreciate the combination of having established processes in place while still having plenty of room to try new things and put your own mark on the work.

We are an ambitious team passionate about building something great together—while having a lot of fun at work!

You and I will work closely together in controlling all aspects of the Utility business. I will lead your onboarding and initially take overall responsibility, but over time, we will work in parallel and have the opportunity to shape the distribution of tasks together. Sounds like fun right? Go ahead and apply!” 🙌

If you are looking for the good old bullet point list of "what will I actually do", here it is:

• Implement cost controls to ensure individual solar parks stay within budget.
• Develop and manage budgets, forecasts, profitability metrics, and financial plans to ensure short-term and long-term financial stability on a P&L and cash flow basis.
• Convert project data into P&L statements and report deviations.
• Coach and support project leaders in creating and following up on project finances and commercial aspects.
• Perform regular liquidity forecasting and perform financial analysis to identify variances between budgeted and actual expenditures.

Are we a match?

We believe that these experiences and qualities will help you have a great start with the role:

• Several years of experience in business controlling or project controlling
• Relevant educational background in Finance, Engineering or BA.
• Strong proficiency in financial modeling, financial analysis, and data analysis.
• Advanced Excel skills and other tools for analysis.
• A detail-oriented and rigorous approach to work.
• Strong analytical skills for thorough and granular analysis.
• The ability to partner with stakeholders to understand problems and find solutions.
• Experience in the construction or energy field is a plus.
• Proficient in business communication in English
