We entered the market with a portfolio of operational and development assets, alongside the resources, capabilities and resilience to deliver offshore wind energy at scale.

Why this role matters:

Offshore wind is a complex, uncertain and expensive industry. From bidding, through construction, installation and operation, costs are in the $billions over multiple years and require many strategic partnerships across a dynamic geopolitical and environmental landscape.

  • Lead the entire budgeting, forecasting & reporting process over the development & construction lifetime of different projects and monitor the actual spendings;
  • Be responsible for providing project leaders with high quality cost related insights to facilitate decision making processes including variance analysis and Trends;
  • Provide regular and reliable assessments of the VOWD (Value of Work Done) ensuring that accruals stand up to audit;
  • Provide ongoing commitment and expenditure tracking and control, ensuring compliance with project WBS and budgets;
  • Monitor and control staffing requirements of the project;
  • Responsible for the preparation of monthly financial reports and presentations towards different stakeholders (management team, board of directors, banks, shareholders, internal departments);
  • Have a good understanding of the development & construction process of a large capex project (financial, technical, contractual, interfaces, risks);
  • Responsible for the analytical masterdata of the project(s) reporting in SAP;
  • Participate and contribute to continuously improving reporting, controlling and planning processes;
  • Work with Accounting to achieve an accurate financial close each period for Corporate entities;

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
