• Assisting in the monitoring of project financial performance and reporting.
• Contributing to the successful commercial outcome of challenging and rewarding projects.

What's on offer:

• Competitive basic salary: £38,000 - £50,000 (dependent on experience).
• Car allowance.
• Standard pension scheme.
• Private healthcare and insurance (after a qualifying period of 6 months).
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
