Morson Praxis

At Grosvenor, we're a leading name in power, transformer and oil services, partnering with world-leading generation, transmission and distribution companies on projects including AIS, GIS, offshore wind connections and converter substations.

We're looking for a proactive and experienced Credit Controller, to be based between our Warrington and Manchester offices, to manage our sales ledger and debtor portfolio, working closely with our Oil and Power teams to keep cash flowing and customer relationships strong.

We're looking for a Credit Controller to proactively manage outstanding debts in line with agreed payment terms, while maintaining strong customer relationships. You'll work closely with Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Commercial teams to minimise aged debt, improve cash flow and reduce bad debt risk.
