We are now seeking a high-calibre Finance Director with strong construction, engineering or building services experience and a sound understanding of percentage-of-completion accounting. This is not a step-up opportunity or a role for someone who wants to oversee an already polished finance function. We are hiring an experienced finance leader who has previously operated as the number-one finance person within a business and already has the playbook required to lead change, strengthen controls and help rebuild the financial infrastructure. You will partner closely with the Managing Director and Private Equity stakeholders to drive financial excellence, improve operational performance and support ambitious long-term growth. This is a genuinely hands-on, high-impact leadership role within a fast-paced SME. You will operate at board level while remaining close enough to the detail to understand the numbers, challenge processes and support the team in delivering the basics brilliantly.

Previously part of OTIS - one of the world's leading manufacturers and service providers of elevators, escalators and moving walkways - the business is now owned by R Capital. With greater agility as an independent company, Liftec Express is rebuilding its platform and preparing for a significant period of growth. The business delivers maintenance, repair, installation and modernisation solutions across commercial, residential and public-sector environments, including prestigious and high-profile sites. Liftec Express currently retains much of the operational infrastructure of a larger SME, while operating with the agility and resourcefulness of a smaller organisation. The successful Finance Director must therefore be equally comfortable shaping strategy, improving systems and getting personally involved in the detail. As a Private Equity-backed organisation, Liftec Express is focused on operational excellence, cash optimisation, cost control and sustainable growth.
