Job Description

WSP is the world's leading engineering company, specialising in infrastructure, transport, environment, energy and buildings.
We have a clear vision of how it wants to help make the world a better place, by giving back to communities and supporting what's really important for our future.

Imagine a better future for us all - and a better future for you.

Due to continued commercial expansion across our engineering and consulting portfolio in Poland, we are strengthening our Finance organisation to better support complex, long-term infrastructure and advisory projects.
We are looking for a Financial Project Analyst / Project Finance Business Partner who can go beyond reporting, someone who actively shapes project performance, strengthens financial discipline, and partners with delivery teams to improve commercial outcomes.
You will join a multidisciplinary environment driven by collaboration, technical excellence, and a shared commitment to delivering large-scale, technically complex projects that shape the built environment.

Your impact in this role

In this position, you will act as a key financial partner to project teams, ensuring robust financial governance and driving value creation across the project lifecycle.
  • Deliver high-quality management reporting, including budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and performance insights for engineering and consulting projects

  • Act as a finance partner to Project Managers, supporting commercial decision-making and ensuring financial discipline across project execution

  • Establish, challenge, and continuously improve project budgets, incorporating contract changes, risk considerations, and evolving scope

  • Analyse project costs, revenue recognition, and margin development to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance with internal policies and accounting standards

  • Support and enhance project controls, contributing to the professionalisation and standardisation of financial processes across the business

  • Identify opportunities to improve profitability, cash flow management, and financial predictability across long-term contracts

  • Ensure compliance with internal financial frameworks while actively contributing to process optimisation and automation initiatives

What we are looking for

We are seeking a finance professional who is comfortable operating in a project-driven, engineering/consulting environment and who can combine analytical strength with business partnering capability.
  • University degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in financial analysis, project finance, or commercial/project controlling roles

  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex project financial data and translate it into actionable insights

  • Confident communicator, able to challenge stakeholders constructively and work effectively in cross-functional teams

  • Fluent in both Polish and English (written and spoken)

  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with Power BI and Oracle or similar ERP systems is a strong advantage

  • Prior experience in long-term engineering, infrastructure, or consulting contract environments is highly desirable

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a pure reporting role, it is a project-facing finance business partner position, where you will directly influence project delivery decisions, financial outcomes, and commercial performance across complex engineering and consulting engagements.

What we offer

  • Medical care

  • Multisport card

  • Language lessons

  • Access to a wellbeing platform (including 5 free consultations with a psychologist, lawyer and/or financial advisor per year)

  • Opportunity for professional development
