Our portfolio spans the residential, commercial, industrial and student living sectors, with a significant pipeline of new developments and a commercial and industrial asset base valued in excess of £2 billion.

As the business continues to grow and expand its portfolio, we are now seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Purchase Ledger Clerk to join our finance team at our Manchester head office. This role will suit someone with strong hands-on experience of purchase ledger processes across the construction sector. Formal qualifications are not essential; however, proven experience in a high-volume, detail-driven environment is a must.

MCR operates a highly traditional and thorough accounts process, including manual cheque payments and strict purchase order controls. The successful candidate will be comfortable working in this environment, processing approximately 2,000 invoices per month across the group, all of which require accurate purchase order matching and approval workflows.

You will play a key role within the construction finance function, working closely with asset managers and internal stakeholders to ensure invoices are processed efficiently, supplier queries are resolved promptly and financial records remain accurate and fully reconciled.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Issuing and managing purchase orders
• Logging and coding invoices
• Matching invoices to purchase orders
• Processing utility bills across multiple sites
• Maintaining detailed records within our management information system, Propman
• Updating and analysing a number of Excel spreadsheets
• Obtaining invoice approvals from asset managers
• Responding to supplier queries
• Preparing and issuing cheque payments
• Posting transactions and remittances to the system
• Completing bank reconciliations for multiple companies
• Filing documentation accurately
• Maintaining robust audit trails across all activity

This is a busy and varied role within a fast-growing organisation, offering long-term stability and genuine opportunity to develop as the company continues to scale. In return, we offer a competitive salary, negotiable depending on experience, alongside an attractive benefits package. This includes 23 days’ annual leave increasing by one day per year up to a maximum of 25 days, an additional day off for your birthday, and working hours of 9:00am to 5:30pm, office-based, with a one-hour lunch break. Employees also benefit from free on-site parking, access to a free on-site gym, and a complimentary minibus service to and from Manchester Piccadilly each morning and evening. Our office kitchen is fully stocked with tea, coffee, milk, sugar, juice and bread for breakfast toast, helping to create a comfortable and supportive working environment.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced setting, enjoys staying busy, takes pride in accuracy and organisation, and brings a positive, proactive attitude to their work. If you are dedicated, enthusiastic and willing to go the extra mile, we would love to hear from you. If this sounds like the right next step in your career, apply today.
