Help resolve any cost discrepancies or supplier account issues as they arise



You'll play a key part in creating a culture of cost-conscious decision-making and will need to be confident engaging across disciplines to fully understand the scope and progress of ongoing works.

We're looking for someone who:

Has strong experience in cost control or finance within a complex engineering or construction environment
