Job description

Love numbers, enjoy solving problems and thrive in a busy, friendly team? We'd love to hear from you!

At Fujitec UK, we're in the business of keeping people moving. As part of an international lift and escalator business, we combine global expertise with a close-knit UK team that takes pride in what it does.

We're looking for an organised, upbeat and detail-focused Accounts Payable Administrator to join our Finance team for six months. We're introducing new finance systems and using this period to establish our longer-term needs. While that work progresses, you'll help keep our day-to-day finance operations running smoothly.

What you'll be doing

• Processing supplier invoices accurately and promptly, including matching them to purchase orders.
• Reconciling supplier statements, investigating discrepancies and keeping the purchase ledger up to date.
• Preparing information for supplier payment runs and supporting month-end activities.
• Responding to supplier queries and building positive relationships with colleagues across Finance, Purchasing and Operations.
• Allocating costs correctly to departments, contracts and projects, and maintaining reliable financial records.
• Helping the team maintain strong controls and efficient processes during the finance systems transition.

What you'll bring

• Practical experience in accounts payable, purchase ledger or a similar finance administration role.
• Confidence using accounting systems, Microsoft Excel and everyday office applications.
• Excellent attention to detail, numerical accuracy and organisational skills.
• A proactive approach to solving problems and managing competing priorities.
• A friendly, collaborative attitude and the ability to get up to speed quickly.

Experience in engineering, construction or a service-based business would be helpful, but it isn't essential. An AAT qualification is welcome, not required.

Why Fujitec?

You'll join a collaborative UK team within an established international business. Expect variety, plenty of people to work with and the satisfaction of making a practical difference at an exciting time of change. We value people who take ownership, support their colleagues and bring energy to the working day.

• Contract: six months, fixed term
• Salary: £28,000-£32,000 per annum, pro rata, depending on experience
• Working hours and start date: Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm with a 4.30pm finish on Fridays
