FP&A Manager

HI Group is a specialist Managed Services Provider for Net Zero programmes. As part of the Sureserve family, we support clients in the Design, Build, Finance, and Operation of Low Carbon Transition Projects. Our services cover the entire lifecycle—from carbon baselining to post-project monitoring and verification—ensuring the highest standards of sector governance in renewable energy solutions and sustainable project development.

You will be responsible for building and maintaining robust project-level financial models ( TOTEX ), supporting capital allocation decisions, managing financial risk exposure, and providing clear performance insight across the asset lifecycle.

Working closely with Engineering, Commercial Project Management, and Senior Leadership, you will ensure projects are financially robust, risk-adjusted, and aligned with funding and customer requirements. Additionally, you will provide broader financial planning, reporting, and analytical support across the Group.
