Be the financial engine of one of our fastest-growing sectors

Enterprise & Data Centres is a c.£45m and growing part of North. Over 80% of the sector is project delivery – network infrastructure and safety & security – with the rest in Managed Service contracts, and data centres are a key growth area for us.

You’ll own month-end project accounting and bring the insight and constructive challenge that keeps margin under control from first forecast to final delivery. On larger programmes you’ll work with Commercial and Sales too, and your view will reach the COO and the board through the sector and board packs.
