Internal Auditor

We are hiring for Internal Auditor.

The Internal Auditor will provide an independent and evidence-based view of how effectively the company's processes; controls and governance practices are operating.

You will help the business grow — with control.

You will help teams move faster — with accountability.

You will help leadership identify risk — before it becomes loss, disruption or exposure.

What You Will Do

Internal audit planning and execution

• Support the preparation of risk-based annual and periodic internal audit plans.
• Conduct scheduled and surprise audits across departments, branches, warehouses, workshops, projects and operational locations.
• Review the effectiveness of internal controls, approval processes and segregation of duties.
• Evaluate whether business activities are being performed in accordance with approved policies, procedures and delegated authority levels.
• Document audit objectives, scope, testing methods, findings and supporting evidence.
• Maintain complete and well-organised audit working papers.
• Identify control weaknesses, process gaps, irregularities and areas of potential financial or operational exposure.
  
  

Financial and transactional controls

• Review revenue, purchasing, payments, expenses, advances, reimbursements, credit notes and other financial transactions.
• Verify supporting documents, approvals, account coding and adherence to company procedures.
• Review customer receivables, supplier balances, ageing reports and long-outstanding items.
• Examine bank reconciliations, petty cash, employee advances and other cash-related controls.
• Review journal entries, provisions, adjustments and unusual transactions where required.
• Assess whether financial records accurately reflect the underlying business activity.
• Support investigations into discrepancies, unauthorised transactions or suspected misuse of company resources.
  
  

Inventory, warehouse and asset audits

• Conduct physical inventory checks and participate in periodic stock counts.
• Verify the accuracy of inventory records against physical quantities.
• Review controls over material receipt, storage, issuance, transfer, production consumption, return and dispatch.
• Examine stock adjustments, write-offs, damaged materials, scrap and slow-moving or obsolete inventory.
• Review traceability of high-value and safety-critical materials, products and lifting accessories.
• Verify controls relating to tools, machinery, testing equipment, vehicles, IT assets and other fixed assets.
• Identify inventory leakage, unexplained variance, inaccurate recording or weaknesses in custody and access controls.
  
  

Procurement and supplier controls

• Review purchase requisitions, quotations, purchase orders, supplier selection and approval documentation.
• Assess compliance with procurement policies and delegated authority limits.
• Verify whether appropriate commercial comparisons and supporting justifications are maintained.
• Review potential conflicts of interest, duplicate suppliers, unusual purchasing patterns or repetitive exceptions.
• Examine supplier advances, open purchase orders, goods received but not invoiced and invoice matching.
• Assess supplier onboarding, due diligence and master-data controls.
• Recommend improvements that strengthen transparency without unnecessarily slowing procurement activity.
  
  

Sales, commercial and project audits

• Review quotations, discounts, pricing approvals, customer credit limits and contract documentation.
• Assess whether sales orders, delivery records, invoices and customer acknowledgements are properly aligned.
• Review project-related expenses, material usage, subcontractor costs, variations and billing.
• Examine the commercial and financial controls applied to high-value or technically complex orders.
• Review margin deviations, unbilled revenue, delayed invoicing and commercial exceptions.
• Verify whether customer-specific terms and contractual commitments are clearly documented and approved.
• Identify areas where revenue, margin, cash collection or contractual protection may be at risk.
  
  

Process, compliance and operational audits

• Review processes across finance, procurement, sales, production, warehouse, logistics, projects, HR, payroll, IT and administration.
• Assess adherence to company policies, standard operating procedures and approval matrices.
• Review access rights, system controls and user-authorisation practices within ERP, accounting and operational systems.
• Identify manual processes, duplicate activities and control gaps that increase the risk of error or manipulation.
• Evaluate whether management reports are supported by complete and reliable data.
• Support audits connected to quality, HSE, certification and regulatory requirements where relevant.
• Assess whether records are complete, controlled, retrievable and audit-ready.
  
  

Audit reporting and follow-up

• Prepare clear audit reports covering findings, risks, root causes and recommended corrective actions.
• Categorise findings based on their financial, operational, compliance or reputational impact.
• Present findings professionally and objectively to department heads and management.
• Agree practical corrective actions, responsible owners and completion timelines.
• Maintain an audit action tracker and regularly follow up on outstanding findings.
• Verify whether corrective actions have been properly implemented and are operating effectively.
• Escalate overdue or high-risk findings to the appropriate leadership level.
• Highlight recurring control issues and systemic risks rather than reporting each incident in isolation.
  
  

Risk management and continuous improvement

• Support the identification and documentation of business risks across departments.
• Contribute to the development of risk registers, control matrices and process documentation.
• Review new processes, systems or business activities from a control and risk perspective.
• Recommend practical improvements that strengthen controls, reduce waste and simplify workflows.
• Analyse patterns in audit findings, losses, stock variances, exceptions and policy deviations.
• Help management distinguish between isolated mistakes and underlying process weaknesses.
• Promote a culture where internal audit is viewed as a business-improvement partner without compromising independence.
