I was working in the Sensor Systems Division within the Avionics sector. Working on 3projects totalling over £10 Million pounds and lasting up to 7 years. My responsibility was to support the two Project Managers’ and produce the monthly Contract Status Report working very closely with the project accountant. The report contains the project costs for the month, the committed and forecast costs, the sales and claims costs and the trading data. The main application used were Artemis Views 4.1.5 and the ERP package to obtain and construct the project costs.
The financial controller from Basildon asked me to help them out in their Edinburgh office as they lagged behind Basildon.
