About this job

Accounts Receivable & Project Administration Officer Permanent & Full‑Time (option to work 4 full days part‑time) Port Talbot £35‑40,000 per annum.

I have a lovely role here as an experienced Accounts Receivable Administrator. Joining a very well‑established and highly successful transactional finance team, you will have plenty of experience in accounts receivable; ideally gained from the construction industry. There will be a lot of duties within this role specific to construction; the successful candidate will have experience of dealing with applications, certificates and retentions.

A good exposure to self‑billing processes, retentions and domestic reverse‑charge VAT (DRC) as well as CIS will be invaluable.

This role will see you covering the following areas:

• Sales Invoice processing
• Job cost tracking
• Tracking work in progress
• Applying for application for payments
• Chasing customer debt
• Monitoring/maintenance of customer accounts
• Allocating bank receipts and compiling highly detailed consolidated invoices

Experience in job costing would be highly advantageous.

You will be liaising with other team members across the business, so good communication and organisation skills are essential.

This role would ideally suit a qualified AAT or QBE candidate, and previous experience in the construction or civil engineering industry would be HIGHLY advantageous.

The role is office‑based, with free parking onsite.

Although there is a full‑time vacancy, there is some flexibility in terms of working hours; with either a reduction to 4 days or a flexible working pattern, this can be discussed.

If you would like to know more, please call Emma Lewis on 01792 642 032 or apply online.
