Head of Finance - Solar parks

The Utility business unit at Svea Solar is responsible for utility-scale (i.e., very large!) projects. Our portfolio includes a few of Sweden’s largest solar parks, such as Fjällskär (20.7 MW), Sjöbo (18 MW) and Hörby (18.2 MW) with many others under construction, including an agrivoltaic park construction in Hova.

To help secure the financial health and performance of our growing operations, we are now looking for a Head of Finance for our Utility business unit.

The role

The Svea Solar Utility business unit consists of two entities. The first entity owns solar parks and oversees their full-cycle development: identifying suitable land, developing the licenses, securing a grid connection and financing the construction, and later managing the park operations. The second entity is a services business that involves the engineering, construction, operation, and maintenance of solar parks.

The Head of Finance Utility reports directly to Svea Solar's CFO Christian while being a part of the Utility Management Team led by the Managing Director Utility Pieter.

The scope of the role is as follows:

• Leading the finance function for Svea Solar Utility.
• Delivering monthly reporting and controlling of the two lines of business. 
• Ensuring strong project controlling together with the project managers.
• Driving budget processes, financial planning and liquidity forecasting.
• Owning asset valuations, measuring and reporting on covenants from banks and investors.
• Supporting investment decisions and securing project financing under the leadership of the Treasury function in Svea Solar Finance.

Are we a match?

To thrive at Svea Solar, we think it's important that our values are in sync with yours. To be successful in this role, we believe that you are both curious and analytical with the ability to roll up your sleeves, build clarity in ambiguity and develop and drive the finance function forward. This of course with support from the business and the rest of the Svea Solar finance department. 

Besides this, we believe it is essential to have the following:

• Experience from a leadership role with a track record of leading others in a successful way
• Expertise in business finance and controlling, preferably with some experience in accounting
• A high capability of influencing and aligning stakeholders toward common objectives
