Job description

A role in Projects and Finance Control?

You might not necessarily have thought about this type of role already?

You may even be a Graduate who is highly analytical, loves working with financial data, has great attention to detail and the ability to spot anomalies, trends or when costs, expenses and variancesjust do not add up?

Or you could be in a similar role and not getting the opportunity to put your skills to the test and are looking for a role that will give you that exposure and will allow you to show what you can do.

Working on major Telecoms Infrastructure projects you will play a key role in planning, scheduling, cost control, and performance tracking across a portfolio of projects running into £millions that benefit rural communities.

You will require advanced excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, macros, Power BI would be advantageous) to enable you to export and collate data from various systems and sources, maintaining accurate project data, ensuring adherence to budgets and timelines, and providing reporting insights that help project teams make informed decisions.

If this sounds like you and you have the skills to compile financial and project reports that track and evidence performance to baselines, milestones and KPIs, this could be the role to give you the exposure you are looking for to help you elevate and forge your career.
