Your day-to-day
The Engineering Finance Officer will be responsible for ensuring that all engineering administration requirements are met, including the creation and maintenance of engineering records and forms. You will generate financial and operational reports to assist with engineering operations and oversee the entire process of purchase requests, from requisition to invoicing. Additionally, you will be in charge of organizing and maintaining office supplies, ensuring that all equipment is ready for use each day. As part of your duties, you will enter purchase requests into our requisition programs and match invoices for payment once goods are delivered. Regular communication with the Director of Engineering and other senior leaders will be necessary to ensure project deliverables are on track, as well as to provide support for recognition or rectification as needed. You will also provide administrative support for policies, procedures, and project initiatives, assisting with action plan development and creating written and visual aids to support the engineering department. Coordination with suppliers, assisting managers with boat transfers and accommodation for contractors, and advising management of potential issues will be part of your role. Furthermore, you will assist with the department's financial end-of-month processes, upload documents, and provide support through the Engineering department's CMS. Your role will also include using necessary accounting and management software while supporting and representing Engineering in IHG initiatives, such as Green Engage and other projects.

Your problem-solving abilities will be crucial in turning challenges into solutions for the entire Engineering team.
