With a strong foundation in minerals processing, Sedgman continues to expand into new commodities, markets, and regions, delivering practical and innovative engineering solutions.

We’re looking for a motivated, entry-level Cost Controller to join our Brisbane team - ideal if you’re ready to step into a hands-on role, gain practical experience, and build your career in project finance.

This is a unique opportunity to join a global business, where you’ll gain a clear understanding of how everything connects and grow into managing your own contracts over time.

What you’ll be doing

• Assisting with preparing financial reconciliations, ensuring cost data is accurate, complete, and aligned to reporting timelines.
• Supporting cost control across multiple operational contracts, tracking budgets versus actuals and identifying variances.
• Working closely with the Cost Control Lead and Management Accountant to deliver reporting that supports operational and financial decision making.
• Analysing and interpreting data in Excel, transforming large data sets into clear and actionable insights for stakeholders.
• Building an understanding of contract performance, learning how costs are tracked, managed, and recovered across project lifecycles.
• Maintaining structured financial processes, ensuring consistency and accuracy across systems and reporting.
Taking ownership of smaller scopes over time, working directly with internal and external stakeholders across a variety of projects.

What we’re looking for:

• You’re early in your career, degree-qualified in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, Economics or a similar discipline, with a genuine interest in building a career in cost control.
• You’re naturally curious, detail-focused, and motivated to understand how projects operate beyond the numbers.
Comfortable working with data and picking up new systems, you’re someone who asks questions, takes initiative, and wants to learn.

Why this role?

• Be part of a supportive, approachable team that works closely together, shares knowledge, and encourages growth.
• Gain real insight into how projects operate commercially, with experience beyond a typical junior finance position.
Enjoy a flexible hybrid setup and a steady pipeline of work, this role offers both stability and long-term opportunity.
