As a Cost Administrator, you will play a pivotal role in our National Costs Team, working alongside a team of four dedicated team members who together support the National Costs Team.

Additionally, you will have a face-to-face interview with our National Cost Team Manager and Costs Team Supervisor, who will discuss your qualifications, experience, and fit for our team.

You will play a key role in the team’s cash collection procedures. In addition, you will prepare court documents and provide support with fixed costs dispute cases.
