Up to £60,000 + personal & business performance bonus
Part-qualified or fully qualified | Construction background advantageous but not essential

This is not just another finance role — it’s a chance to step into a business that truly invests in its people, offering plenty of room for growth, career progression, and ongoing professional development.

Whether you are already a seasoned controller or a rising star ready for your next step, you’ll be joining an environment where training, mentorship, and support are at the heart of the culture.

• Detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy and strong analytical skills.

• Commercially astute with the confidence to influence and advise stakeholders.

• Adaptable, proactive, and motivated to develop new skills.

• Construction experience a plus — but not essential with the right mindset and willingness to learn.

Why Join?

• Comprehensive training and ongoing mentorship to help you thrive.

• A supportive team culture where your contributions will be noticed and valued.

Working Arrangements
