  • Provide support for Property Costs as required.
  • Assist the assigned Team Leader with Continuous Improvement activities and other day-to-day tasks as required.

Key Skills

  • A good knowledge of both Excel and Word is required, with experience of SAP and/or Accounts Payable being advantageous.
  • The ability to work to deadlines is essential.
  • Good organizational skills are necessary.
  • Strong communication skills, particularly with key stakeholders, are required.
