Senior Internal Auditor

About Hunting Hunting PLC is a global precision engineering group that provides equipment, technologies, and services to the energy industry. Founded in 1874 and listed on the London Stock Exchange, Hunting operates manufacturing and service facilities across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Hunting maintains a strong governance and control environment while offering employees exposure to international operations and business leadership.

Position Summary Join a high-visibility Internal Audit team supporting a global publicly traded manufacturing and engineering organization. This role provides exposure across the full audit lifecycle-from planning and fieldwork through reporting and presentation of results to executive leadership and the Audit Committee.

Unlike larger audit functions where responsibilities are highly specialized, this position offers broad exposure to operational, financial, and governance processes across the business. The successful candidate will gain insight into production operations, inventory management, supply chain processes, cost accounting, and financial controls while working directly with Controllers, General Managers, and Executive Management.

This position is open due to internal career progression, with the current Internal Audit Manager recently promoted into a Controller role within the business. This reflects Hunting's commitment to developing talent and creating opportunities for advancement into broader finance and operational leadership positions.

The Internal Audit function is actively evolving to incorporate data analytics and emerging AI capabilities, and this role will play a key part in advancing these initiatives. This role is well-suited for candidates interested in helping modernize internal audit through data analytics and AI-driven approaches.

The Internal Audit function operates as a small, high-impact team, providing broad exposure across the organization and significant visibility with senior leadership.
