Is it permissible for an employee responsible for following up on a company's projects to work on winning a project for the company to build a usurious bank, or to supervise its execution as a subcontractor?
It is not permissible to assist in a project for an interest-based bank, neither by follow-up, supervision, nor anything else, due to the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." If you excuse yourself to the company, explaining your religious point of view, then bear in mind Allah Almighty's saying: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect" and His saying: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him ease in his matter." As for the "Purify your wealth with charity," it has no basis. Charity purifies its giver, due to the Almighty's saying: "Take, [O Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase."
