    Job Description

    You've gained some experience in purchase ledger. Now you're looking for the right business to build on it.

    If that sounds like you, you'll want to keep reading.

    We're delighted to be partnering once again with an established, award-winning civil engineering business on an exciting opportunity for a Purchase Ledger Clerk to join their finance team.

    Based in Team Valley, you'll join a successful business with an impressive portfolio of projects across the North East and beyond.

    Why Join?

    You'll be part of a small, supportive team where you'll have your own responsibilities while gaining exposure to the wider finance function.

    You don't need years of experience. If you've already gained some hands-on purchase ledger or accounts payable experience, this is an opportunity to strengthen those skills within an established business.

    You'll also receive:

    • 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays

    • Training and support

    • Exposure to month-end and wider finance

    • A varied role within a successful, established business

    The Role

    Your responsibilities will include:

    • Processing supplier invoices, credit notes and expenses

    • Matching invoices to purchase orders and delivery documentation

    • Reconciling supplier statements

    • Resolving supplier queries and PO discrepancies

    • Processing company credit cards

    • Supporting month-end and general finance administration

    About You

    You'll have previous experience within purchase ledger or accounts payable, with a good understanding of supplier invoice processing, purchase orders and statement reconciliations.

    You'll be confident resolving queries and discrepancies, with strong attention to detail and the ability to communicate effectively with suppliers and colleagues across the business.

    You don't need extensive experience or formal accounting qualifications; what's important is a solid grounding in transactional finance and the confidence to work effectively within a busy finance environment.

    If you're looking for a role where you can strengthen your purchase ledger experience, take on greater responsibility and provide some support around month-end, we'd love to hear from you.
