Each of us is accountable for what we do. From the smallest detail to team safety and caring for our communities and the environment, we know that everything matters.

Ideally you'll have prior audit experience with proven commercial or financial experience within a main contracting organisation.  A Quantity Surveying (RICS), Building (CIOB) or Financial Qualification is desirable along with the ability to work independently and take responsibility for your own work. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills along with excellent written and verbal communication skills and excellent presentation skills will be needed with IT proficiency in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint. With travel to regional businesses across Scotland and England occasionally a valid driving licence will be required.

Our principles are our roadmap to achieving positive outcomes and delivering on our purpose. They influence daily decisions around what we do and how we do things, creating an environment of growth, innovation and high performance. 

Listening enables us to work positively and collaboratively, and gives customers, partners and colleagues the assurance that their voices are always heard.

Our mix of prudence and diligence, care and attention to detail means that our customers have certainty and assurance in everything we do and trust us to deliver.

Every challenge is an opportunity. We work collaboratively and focus on safety, productivity and quality to find solutions we can be proud of and that provide a positive, lasting benefit.

We work as one - in our teams and partnerships, and with our customers. We respect each contribution, and everyone stands up to be counted. We are Team Robertson.
