Steel River Quay Ltd - Financial Controller - £ Excellent
The redevelopment of South Bank of the River Tees is the most significant industrial development project in the North East for a generation and is transformational for the region.
This is giving rise to a whole new industrial base on Teesside based on clean energy with a host of international players committed to major scale investments on the site.
Steel River Quay Ltd (‘SRQ’) has been contracted to provide quayside and port-based services to Seah Wind and other future tenants from a newly constructed 450 metre quay on the river Tees. It is anticipated that the quay will be operational within this calendar year and SRQ are already working very closely with Seah and other potential tenants on the operational demands and practical requirements of the Quay. SRQ is one of a series of related companies within the Teesside Freeport focused on large scale property and land linked developments, and associated site services.

Management of a small finance and admin team
Input into taxation related issues

The business will grow substantially as the whole South Bank project matures and plans are already in progress to begin construction of a further 450 metre quay which will double capacity over the next decade. The scope of the role will develop in parallel providing a platform for personal growth and development in a stimulating environment.
