REQUIREMENTS

Due to the nature of the role, I am looking to speak with individuals who have previous accountancy experience. Qualifications such as CIMA or ACCA may have been gained, but a minimum of 5 years accountancy experience is a must, as well as the ability to show previous roles where you have completed the explained tasks before. I am also ideally looking for someone who has worked for a similar construction business, but this is not a must, if good experience can be shown within a similar environment.

REWARDS AND BENEFITS

The base package for the right individual is negotiable, but we are estimating this to be circa £45,000 to £65,000 per annum depending on the level of your previous experience. Full benefits such as pension, travel allowance, and bonuses will also be available. The company’s ambition is to bring an individual into the organisation that will become a valued member of the long-term team.
