The Opportunity

We have a new opportunity for a Project Administrator to join our Finance Team. This is a great opportunity to join a forward-thinking multi-disciplinary consultancy with exciting growth aspirations. The role is based in our Reading office, with hybrid working allowing for a mix of office and home working.

We can offer you a welcoming environment to work in, a strong learning culture, and the opportunity to play an important role in a finance team that supports a growing community of talented engineers, planners, scientists and other technical professionals nationwide.

As a Project Administrator you will be responsible for owning a portfolio of projects; ensuring that projects are correctly initialised, and that transactions associated with the project are correct and processed in line with Stantec's accounting policies and control standards.

Key elements of the role include close collaboration with Project Managers to maintain integrity over an assigned project portfolio; ensuring that projects are setup in Oracle with correct approvals in place; generating and issuing accurate client invoices; and ensuring compliance with the contractual terms for each project.

There will be opportunities to collaborate with Project Management and Finance teams across the UK, and with Finance colleagues within our team in Pune, India – working together to ensure timely and accurate delivery of project accounting support.
