• Shape key capital investment decisions in a high-growth mining business.
• Collaborate with senior stakeholders, including asset and engineering teams.
• Build advanced financial models to drive strategic outcomes and projects.

About the company:

Stellar Recruitment is proud to partner with one of Australia’s leading mining organisations, currently undergoing a significant period of transformation and growth, to find a commercially sharp Senior Financial Planning Analyst. This is a high-impact, standalone role based in Brisbane, ideal for a finance professional who excels in building robust Excel models, collaborating with technical teams, and influencing board-level decisions.

The company is making bold strategic moves, and this role is positioned at the crossroads of finance, engineering, and asset management. You will work closely with senior stakeholders to shape how the business evaluates and delivers on capital expenditure, business cases, and project outcomes.

About the Role:

This is not a typical reporting position. It is a hands-on, end-to-end role requiring a combination of strategic insight and advanced financial modelling expertise. Reporting to a high-calibre finance leader, you will be responsible for everything from modelling CAPEX proposals to conducting post-implementation reviews on multi-million-dollar asset projects.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Designing and building advanced Excel-based financial models to support business cases, tenders, and strategic decisions
• Partnering with Asset Management and Engineering teams to analyse CAPEX proposals and assess investment viability
• Conducting thorough post-implementation reviews to evaluate project value delivery
• Presenting key findings and financial recommendations to senior stakeholders and board members
• Driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range financial planning initiatives
• Taking full ownership of your portfolio in a comprehensive, end-to-end capacity

Who We’re Looking For

• A degree in Commerce, Business, Finance, Engineering, or a related field
• CA/CPA qualifications are beneficial but not essential
• At least 8 years of experience in financial planning, business case development, and capital investment analysis
• A background in mining, asset-intensive industries, or engineering-led environments is preferred
• Strong Excel modelling skills, with a passion for creating and managing financial models
• A commercially astute individual with strong stakeholder engagement skills and a sharp attention to detail when preparing board-level reports.
• A strategic thinker who also enjoys getting hands-on with complex modelling and high-level financial discussions

Why This Role:

• Play a key role in shaping capital investment decisions across major assets.
• Collaborate closely with asset managers, engineers, and executive leaders.
• Be part of a business in a major growth phase, with a robust pipeline of impactful projects. Reporting to an experienced and well-regarded finance leader, you'll benefit from strong mentorship and technical development opportunities.
• Brisbane-based permanent position in a centralised location that is easy to access, with a competitive salary package and benefits on offer.

Next Steps:

If you’re looking for a technically engaging, strategically focused role that blends modelling, business partnering, and leadership exposure—this could be your ideal next move.

I am happy to take a call or email to discuss the role and your circumstances before you commit to a formal application. Otherwise please apply via SEEK and I will be back in touch as soon as possible for an initial discussion. All expressions of interest will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
