Accounts Payable Specialist
Project P2P Specialist / Account Payable Specialist Location: Somerset Function: Finance – Capital & Supply Chain Finance
At Agratas, we’re building something extraordinary — a next‑generation UK manufacturing facility that will power the future of sustainable energy. To make it happen, we’re looking for a Project P2P Specialist who thrives in fast‑paced environments, enjoys solving complex problems, and takes pride in getting things right the first time. This is your chance to sit at the heart of one of the UK’s most exciting industrial projects, ensuring our suppliers, contractors, and partners are paid accurately, on time, and in full compliance with our governance standards. If you’re motivated by operational excellence and want to play a key role in delivering a world‑class facility, we’d love to meet you.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Finance Business Partner for Capital Projects, you’ll be the go‑to expert for all things P2P across our construction and equipment vendor landscape. You’ll manage high‑volume, high‑value payment cycles, working closely with our offshore P2P team, internal stakeholders, and our Construction Manager to keep everything running smoothly. Your work will directly support the industrialisation of our UK manufacturing site — ensuring strong supplier relationships, robust financial controls, and seamless execution of our payment processes. This position is offered as an 18‑month fixed‑term contract and operates on a hybrid working pattern. The role is primarily based in Somerset.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
