You'll take ownership of daily invoicing for Cappagh Public Works Limited — skips, aggregates, and waste removal and support the wider finance team with contract invoicing, monthly applications for payment and customer account administration.

Key responsibilities

• Manage daily invoicing for Public Works contracts covering skips, aggregates, and waste removal.
• Process e-invoicing through the Weighsoft system and manual invoicing of paper tickets through Sage.
• Issue monthly customer statements, confirming all tickets for the month are accounted for and sourcing any missing tickets from depots where needed.
• Raise contract invoices in Eque2, including progress payment certificates (e.g. for Ferrovial) and payment certificates (e.g. for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea).
• Support preparation of monthly applications for payment to utilities customers, keeping to current agreed rates - entering data from manual tickets into Excel and downloading e-ticket reports.
• Take card payments and allocate them to the correct customer accounts and invoices.
• Handle invoice queries and issue credits as required.
• Set up new customer accounts on Sage.
• Use Excel, including pivot tables, for reporting and reconciliation.
• Upload invoices to Tradex.
• Acquire purchase orders (POs) from customers.
   

What we're looking for

• Experience with invoicing or accounts administration, ideally within construction, waste, or logistics.
• Familiarity with Sage, or the ability to pick it up quickly.
• Experience with Weighsoft, Eque2, or Tradex is an advantage but not essential.
• Confident using Excel, including pivot tables.
• Strong attention to detail and comfortable working to monthly deadlines.
• Good communication skills for liaising with customers, depots, and subcontractors.
