At Jonsson Workwear, everything we do is done with precision. It’s how we engineer our workwear and how we run our business, from the factory floor to the financial processes that support it. Because equipping our customers to perform at their peak takes more than precision‑built workwear. It takes a business run with accuracy, efficiency and structure.

To support this, we are seeking a Financial Controller to join our manufacturing team in Nhlangano, Eswatini, reporting into the Finance Manager. In this role, you will support the financial execution of the manufacturing operation, ensuring accurate costing, reporting and controls that reflect what is happening on the shop floor and across the production process.

This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role, suited to someone who enjoys working close to the detail within a fast‑moving manufacturing environment. You will play a critical role in translating operational activity into reliable financial information that supports day‑to‑day decision‑making and operational discipline.

As the Financial Controller based in our manufacturing operations, your key responsibilities will include:

• Preparing accurate and timely financial reports for review by the Finance Manager
• Supporting product costing, with a clear understanding of materials, labour and production overheads
• Monitoring manufacturing costs and margins, identifying variances and escalating risks to the Finance Manager and operational leadership
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes to ensure plans reflect production volumes and operating assumptions
• Translating factory activity into clear, accurate financial information that supports operational planning and control
• Working closely with production, procurement and planning teams to ensure financial data aligns with operational activity
• Assisting with investigations into cost drivers and inefficiencies, supporting actions to improve operational execution
• Maintaining and applying financial controls across the operation in line with group standards
• Ensuring data integrity, consistency and compliance across manufacturing financial processes

 Skills and qualifications required:

• Relevant financial qualification (e.g. CA(SA), CIMA, or an equivalent recognised qualification)
• Proven experience in a financial controlling, cost accounting or similar execution‑focused finance role
• Experience within a manufacturing or production environment is highly advantageous
