You will become part of an energetic team, working together to support our engineers in collection of payments for the exciting projects they have delivered for their clients. The majority of your time will be spent getting in touch with the clients on the ledger you’re responsible for, ensuring they have our invoices and any objections they have to paying them are overcome.

You will build relationships with key stakeholders across Finance and our operational business then use those connections to push debts to their conclusion through joining calls with clients or debt review calls. You will become a key member of the wider business team and an expert in collecting cash in our industry.

We try to contact our internal and external customers by telephone rather than email, so you’ll need to be comfortable with that and with the behaviours you’ll need to display as an ambassador for WSP. You’ll also need to be able to write great, accurate and concise emails.

You may be studying for CICM (Chartered Institute of Credit Management) exams or already have them. Or you may be studying for a different qualification or be interested in exploring one. Either way, you’ll want to continue developing yourself and your career with WSP.
