    About the role

    Balfour Beatty has an exciting opportunity for a Internal Controls Manager to join our growing team.

    Base Location can be flexible for this role

    As an Internal Controls Manager you will support the Group Head of Internal Controls in the day- to-day management of the Internal Control framework that safeguards the

    organization's global operations, financial reporting, and compliance with laws and

    policies. This role will include coverage of all Group Controls

    What you'll be doing

    • Maintain and refine the Balfour Beatty (BB) internal control framework in line

    with organizational changes and changes to BB's risk profile, with a goal of

    maturing the control environment through ongoing collaboration with control

    owners.

    • Responsible for internal control procedures and standards that align with

    industry best practices to strengthen the control environment and ensure control

    systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance in achieving

    operational, financial reporting, and compliance objectives.

    • Maintaining ongoing Compliance with Provision 29 Requirements through

    oversight of 1st line self-assessment and 2nd line testing programs to provide the

    Audit & Risk Committee with assurance material controls are operating

    effectively.

    • Provide support to the Group Head of Internal Controls with a variety of

    reporting including to Audit and Risk Committee on control effectiveness,

    significant risk exposures, control test results, and status of remediation plans.

    • Ensures that control deficiencies are identified and documented, and that there

    is a robust process for following up on and remediating any weaknesses or

    gaps in controls. Where the deficiency relates to a material control, ensuring the

    weakness is escalated and resolved quickly and in line with the requirements of

    Provision 29.

    • Promote a strong control-conscious culture across the organization through

    active collaboration with control owners and delivering training programs and

    awareness initiatives to educate management and staff on internal control

    principles, policies, and their own responsibilities in the internal control process.

    • Act as a liaison between various stakeholders to ensure an integrated approach

    to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Working closely with first-line

    process owners to support them in implementing effective controls, with Risk

    Management and Compliance functions (second line) to align controls with

    enterprise risk management programs, and with Internal Audit (third line) to

    coordinate efforts and reduce duplication to create a unified risk management

    framework and ensures that control issues identified by internal or external

    audits are quickly addressed.

    Who we're looking for

    Experience:

    • Experience in internal controls, external or internal audit.
    • Ability to build strong relationships with multiple stakeholders at various

    levels

    • Strong organisational skills with ability to multitask and prioritise workload
    • Proficiency in excel
    • Prior experience utilising Optro is desirable, but not essential.
    • Experience working with regulatory standards (e.g. Provision 29, Sarbanes-

    Oxley or equivalent frameworks in other jurisdictions) and cross-functional

    projects is valuable.

    • Experience of working in the Engineering and Construction Industry preferred, but not essential.

    Knowledge:

    • Knowledge of internal control frameworks and industry regulations,

    specifically Provision 29 of the UK Corporate Governance Code. Familiarity

    with global best-practice models like the COSO Internal Control - Integrated

    Framework (which encompasses control environment, risk assessment,

    control activities, information & communication, and monitoring)

    Skills:

    • Has good interpersonal and communication skills and acts in an

    independent and professional manner with the ability to influence others

    • Is a self-starter who manages their own time and workload and brings ideas

    to add value to the function with strong task management, prioritisation and

    planning skills.

    • The internal control framework covers a wider breadth of areas and requires

    flexibility and curiosity to understand all areas of business operations and

    functions.

    • Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail to analyse complex

    processes and data to detect weaknesses or trends, perform root-cause

    analysis on control failures, and develop practical solutions.

    • A strong sense of ethics, integrity, and professional scepticism. The role

    handles sensitive information and is entrusted with ensuring honesty and

    compliance throughout the organization
