Day-to-day support for SAP Finance (FI/CO) and related financial systems, assisting with incident resolution, service requests, and system queries under the guidance of senior analysts.
Assist in investigating system and data issues across end-to-end finance processes, helping to identify root causes that may span multiple systems.
Work with Finance business users, technical colleagues, and external support partners to gather information, test fixes, and support resolution of system and integration issues.
Support SAP configuration and system change activities, including test execution, documentation, validation of results, and support for business testing.
Build knowledge of how SAP Finance works alongside other SAP functional areas such as Sales & Distribution (SD) and Procurement / Materials Management (MM), gaining exposure to cross‑functional processes including order‑to‑cash and procure‑to‑pay.
Develop an understanding of how financial transactions flow through SAP and connected systems, including upstream sources, downstream postings, and reporting impacts

Entrepreneurial culture The autonomy given to our depot managers is a key element of our business model and success. Every depot is dedicated to helping local tradespeople build their businesses and, within each one, builders can find plentiful stock, design expertise, knowledgeable staff, and the best local price. Community Our belief is that where communities thrive, we thrive. We are passionate about serving our local communities and actively encourage our colleagues to get involved through volunteering, sponsored events and supporting local charities.
