• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Proactive and able to take initiative without direction
• Comfortable working in a fully remote, independent environment
• A strong communicator with excellent written English
• Confident across finance, admin and operational tasks

• Good Microsoft Office skills (Excel particularly useful)

It’s ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, variety and ownership, and wants to be part of a company doing meaningful work behind some of the UK’s most important infrastructure projects.
