Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.
The Role
With a world-wide headcount of 500 and a brand-new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Chennai, and established engineering & sales office in Dubai, Houston and Kuala Lumpur, we are highly profitable, operating with zero debt.
Reporting directly to the Chairman you will manage our pre-tax profit objectives across all international entities including Oliver Valves, Oliver Valvetek, Oliver Twinsafe, and Oliver Valves India Pvt Limited. While each business operates independently, they are central coordinated.

With operations spanning the UK, USA, Dubai, Malaysia and India, and a world-class Research & Development centre in Knutsford, we have established plans to grow beyond our £100m turnover profitability.
Our business model is to sub-contract our components, then assemble at our facilities in Knutsford and Chennai. Our culture is agile, entrepreneurial and decisive. There are no layers of bureaucracy, endless committees or slow-moving approval processes. We value common sense, accountability and action.

Our candidate will be a CIMA qualified cost accountant currently in a Financial Director position, with a strong background gained within a mechanical engineering or manufacturing environment. You will have extensive involvement in further developing the objectives of the business, growing the pre-tax earnings and broader business operations, with proven experience in successfully managing and developing people.
