What are we looking for?

This role would suit a hands-on individual who is looking to make a difference in a new and exciting project. You'll need to be determined to support the success of a key contract for Amey and contribute to the continuing improvement of sustainable waste treatment solutions as a business. The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience working in a business support function, ideally with exposure to financial or quantity surveying tasks. You'll need to show clearly where you've added value to a business and where your skills support this requirement. A relevant degree or qualification in a QS related arena would be advantageous, as would exposure to the Waste Treatment industry. Financial acumen will need to be a part of your psyche and although we're looking for a multi skilled and adaptable person, you'll be measured on what you can achieve to move our project forward in to the next stage.

Fundamentally this role requires a very determined administrator with a methodical and accurate approach to working and excellent attention to detail, with an appetite to progress a career within a Commercial environment that will assist you in developing your skills even further.
