Good communication skills and the ability to deal directly with customers. A full UK driving licence. Flexibility to travel as part of a field-based engineering position. Previous water treatment, reverse osmosis, filtration or process utility experience is desirable, not essential. What's in it for you?

Not from water treatment? Don't let that put you off. If you're a strong electrical/mechanical engineer with transferable industrial experience, we'd still like to hear from you.

Finance Manager
Clevedon
Finance Manager Build it. Own it. Grow it. PE-Backed | High-Growth Manufacturing | Career-Defining Opportunity Are you an experienced transactional finance professional who is ready to step beyond the day-to-day and take ownership of an entire finance function? This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. We're working with an exciting Private Equity-backed manufacturing organisation that is entering a hugely ambitious period of growth. As part of that journey, they are looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to join the business, initially operating as a standalone finance lead and with the freedom to shape, develop and ultimately build the finance function in your own way. This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit a well-established process and keep things ticking over. You'll have the opportunity to build it. The Opportunity Initially, you'll be responsible for the full breadth of the finance operation - getting stuck into the detail, understanding the business and creating the foundations for a scalable finance function. You'll be involved in everything from: VAT returns and statutory compliance Sales Ledger and Purchase Ledger Management and financial accounting Bank reconciliations and month-end Payroll Cashflow and financial controls Stock, inventory and WIP accounting Improving processes, systems and reporting Supporting the wider business through its growth journey You'll need to be someone who is comfortable doing the doing. This is not a role for someone looking to immediately delegate everything down. But equally, this isn't where the journey ends. As the business grows, there is a clear intention to grow the finance team and function around you, giving you the opportunity to move increasingly into a strategic leadership position. Your Career Path The long-term vision is exciting. The successful person will have the opportunity to grow from a hands-on Finance Manager into a senior finance leader, with a genuine aspiration of progressing towards Group Financial Controller as the organisation continues to scale. You'll have a real voice in how the function develops, the systems and processes that are implemented, the team that is built and the way finance supports the wider Group. Your career progression will be linked to the growth of the business. What We're Looking For You'll ideally be coming from a manufacturing finance background, with recent experience in a role where you've had genuine exposure to the operational side of finance. You'll understand the importance of: WIP Stock control Inventory accounting Manufacturing costings Understanding how operational performance feeds into financial results We're particularly interested in people who have come through a transactional finance route and have developed their accounting career from the ground up. You might currently be a Finance Manager, Assistant Financial Controller, Senior Management Accountant or Financial Controller who is looking for significantly more ownership and autonomy. Most importantly, you'll be: Hands-on. Commercial. Ambitious. Curious. Someone who wants to build something rather than simply maintain it.

Life at Yolk
Our vision was to build a work environment that fully realises the potential of every person through our support, philosophy, processes and profits.
Work should be busy and challenging. It should make you think, and apply yourself to new situations. It shouldn’t be a breeze. It should test you. It should push you. It should motivate you to do and be your best.
But never at the expense of lighter times. There should be laughs, friendly competition, Friday-night drinks. There should be rewards and recognition; a pat on the back. People willing you to do well, and you them. Support. Encouragement. Positivity. You should want to come back tomorrow.
It's a culture where everyone wins.
