This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Cost Accountant in Christiana, and we encourage applicants from across North West to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
Crucially, this Cost Accountant role sits within the finance jobs function in Christiana. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across North West.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the finance jobs team in North West make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Cost Accountant is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in North West is consistently high and consistently fair.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the finance jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Christiana much easier.
