At Scatec, you get to work on something that matters. We develop, build, own, and operate renewable energy solutions that accelerate access to reliable and affordable clean energy. As part of a global and agile organisation, you will work with skilled colleagues across functions and geographies, take real ownership, and contribute to a company driven by the vision of improving our future.

At the heart of everything we do is our belief that we bring the energy – the energy for change, connection, and growth. It shapes how we collaborate, innovate, and create impact together.

If you are looking for a role where your contribution is visible, your development matters, and your work supports a more sustainable future, Scatec may be the right place for you.

As a Junior Accountant, you will play an important role in supporting the Finance and Asset Management team by executing core accounting processes, maintaining accurate financial records, and contributing to reliable internal reporting.

This is a strong opportunity to build broad finance experience in an international renewable energy business while developing your technical accounting capabilities.

In this role, you will take ownership of day-to-day accounting, payment, and compliance activities, including:

• Process cashbooks, journals, intercompany transactions, customer invoices, and monthly customer statements across several group companies

• Prepare bank, supplier, balance sheet, travel expense, and corporate credit card reconciliations

• Capture supplier invoices, manage approval workflows, and review invoices for VAT, purchase order, and company compliance requirements

• Coordinate domestic and international payment runs, prepare payment batches, and load payments onto banking platforms

• Resolve supplier and invoice queries and maintain accurate supporting payment documentation

• Prepare monthly VAT workings and support tax, KYC, CIPC, annual return, and other compliance requirements

• Prepare audit working papers and supporting schedules, including ED and BEE-related information

• Provide general finance support and assist with ad-hoc accounting and reporting requirements

Your work will contribute to accurate financial reporting, effective financial controls, and well-managed finance processes across the business.

• Professional growth through ownership, exposure, and meaningful contribution from day one

• Hands-on experience in a role where the challenge is energising, fast-moving, meaningful, and built on learning through doing

• Broader commercial understanding through close collaboration with Finance, Asset Management, and other business teams

• Stronger accounting, reconciliation, payment, and financial control capabilities across multiple legal entities

• Exposure to international finance processes within a global renewable energy organisation

• Experience working with compliance, tax, audit, and ERP-driven finance processes

• Diploma or Degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related discipline

• More than 3 years’ accounting experience

• Proven experience preparing a basic trial balance

• Solid Microsoft Excel skills and a good understanding of finance processes and accounting sub-processes

• Experience working with ERP systems will be advantageous

• Strong numerical accuracy, attention to detail, organisational skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines

At Scatec, we combine purpose with performance. We value responsibility, clarity, and collaboration, and we encourage people to challenge existing ways of working, contribute ideas, and keep developing. You can expect an environment where people work together across disciplines and geographies, where good performance matters, and where you are trusted to take ownership without unnecessary hierarchy.

If you are motivated by accurate financial work, enjoy bringing structure to accounting processes, and want to build your career in an international renewable energy environment, this could be a strong next step. We are looking for someone who is methodical, solution-oriented, comfortable working under pressure, and committed to delivering high-quality work while continuously looking for ways to improve.

At Scatec, you will be part of a company with a clear and ambitious purpose, working on renewable energy solutions that make a lasting difference. You will gain responsibility early, learn from experienced colleagues, and build your capabilities in a business that offers global exposure, strong development opportunities, and meaningful work in the energy transition.
