This manufacturing business is passionate about what they do. Sitting in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, they are the market leaders in their field, currently working across 30 different countries. Their current turnover stands at around 10 million, and they have plans for global expansion over the next few years. This role is a full-time position, replacing a part-time person, and has been expanded with additional duties due to ongoing growth and the need for a full-time assistant straddled across finance and operations.
As the Project and Finance Assistant, you will sit within the Project Management Team, working alongside three Project Managers. You will be responsible for day-to-day administration such as booking equipment, arranging and coordinating all travel and accommodation (UK-based and internationally), dealing with project documents upon completion, along with general administration and coordination of their projects. Regarding the accounting side of the role, you will work closely with the project managers to ensure they are kept up to date with the financials of their projects, ensuring all costs are inputted correctly to provide a real-time view of where they are against budget. You will ensure all POs have been raised, deliveries are on site, and all works orders are entered at month-end so the WIP can be calculated accurately. You will also provide additional ad hoc support to the Finance Manager and Operations Manager as needed.
* This will be a fast-paced role within a busy environment. The operational duties can often be very reactive, so it is essential that the successful person has good attention to detail, is well organized, and is not flustered in a busy and fast-paced role.
* Ideally, you will have worked within a manufacturing or construction environment, as understanding the processes and complexities that manufacturing and production costs have on the overall profitability of the business is key.
* A transactional finance background would be highly advantageous, along with any PA, secretarial, or project admin type experience. However, candidates with the right attitude and some of the fundamentals will be considered.
In return, the successful candidate could have a strong future ahead of them. There are development routes available into Project Management or Finance. The business has a low staff turnover and always looks to develop within for hardworking and committed individuals keen to progress. It is essential that the successful candidate shares the same values as the company; they are looking for someone to slot in easily to ensure their team-focused culture is maintained.
Salary for this role is ideally up to £28,000 (with some flexibility up to £30,000), 25 days holiday, pension, and other company benefits. Your hours of 37.5 can be agreed upon successful appointment, i.e., starting at 8 am or 9 am would be fine. This role is in-office full-time, but they will support home working ad hoc when required.
