Shape Financial Performance for a Growing Airbus Operation
Guidant Global is partnering with Airbus to recruit an experienced Financial Controller to support Facilities Management, Real Estate (FMRE) and Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) activities across the UK, with a particular focus on the expanding Belfast operation.

  • Act as the finance representative and key link between the business and the wider finance function.
  • Deliver financial reporting across operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) activities.
  • Provide detailed cost analysis, identifying trends, risks, opportunities and performance gaps.
  • Support planning activities across the full FMRE and EHS cost base, including forecasts and operational planning.
  • Develop financial models to support facilities, environmental and capital investment projects.
  • Monitor and challenge expenditure, ensuring procured services and utilities remain aligned to budget and business targets.
  • Support strategic business initiatives, including integration and transformation programmes.
  • Ensure compliance with internal financial processes, controls and governance requirements.
  • Drive performance improvement through meaningful financial insight and recommendations.
  • Coordinate corrective actions and mitigation plans where required to support effective decision–making.
  • Produce timely, accurate and valuable financial reporting that supports operational and leadership teams.

What We're Looking For
We're seeking a commercially minded finance professional who combines strong analytical capability with excellent stakeholder engagement skills.
You will ideally bring:

  • Experience within Finance, Accounting, Financial Control or Business Controlling.
  • Strong analytical skills with the confidence to challenge assumptions and influence decision–making.
  • The ability to interpret large volumes of financial data and translate findings into actionable insights.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to build relationships across diverse teams.
  • Experience working to tight deadlines in a fast–paced environment.
  • A proactive, delivery–focused mindset with strong attention to detail.
  • The flexibility to switch between strategic thinking and detailed financial analysis.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within international teams.
  • Fluency in English; French and/or German language skills would be advantageous.
