The Team

We are an award-winning global consultancy and have been named Building’s Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2024, 2022 and 2021. We are at the forefront of the industry, priding ourselves on our exemplary track record of designing innovative and sustainable projects.

Sustainability runs through everything we do at Cundall, and our people are empowered to drive change and decarbonise the built environment. By the end of this decade, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal to only work on projects that meet our zero carbon design criteria, a commitment we have called our Zero Carbon Design 2030 goal. We need people who share this passion for sustainability and thrive in designing energy efficient buildings and communities.

In order to keep up with the demands of business, we are seeking an organised, collaborative, and dedicated Assistant Credit Controller to join the Finance team at our Head Office in Newcastle.

The Role

We are looking for an Assistant Credit Controller to join us and work alongside the wider team following up on outstanding credit across Cundall’s offices.

Reporting into Credit Controller Team Leader, you will be responsible for supporting the credit control team to follow up on outstanding credit across Cundall’s offices and working across the Cundall finance team.

You will provide a customer service and credit control function to ensure the prompt collection of assigned sales ledger debtors and the completion of administrative tasks.

You will be required to ensure that the engineering teams and colleagues are provided with a quality service, high level of responsive and accurate support.

The Skills

Minimum 5 GCSE’s or equivalent, including English and Maths.

You are comfortable with the technical understanding and attention to detail it takes to work effectively in a finance role within a complex organisation and possess a good level of PC skills including Microsoft Office packages.

Experience gained in a professional services organisation or credit control would be desirable but not essential.

You are highly organised, take a proactive approach to your work and can work to tight deadlines – making use of your initiative, self-motivation, and effective communication skills.

We know that to be the best at what we do we need a diverse workforce underpinned by an inclusive culture. Creating environments where everyone can find joy doing their best work is also great for everyone. That’s why we positively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities, and encourage, support, and celebrate the diverse voices of our people.
