Job description

Field Debt Recovery Officer – B2B £29,000 basic + £5,000 car allowance + uncapped commission. Realistic OTE £45,000–£55,000+

Permanent | Monday–Friday | Fully Field Based | Scotland Territory

This is NOT a desk-based Credit Control or telephone Collections role. We're looking for an experienced field-based debt recovery professional to manage a territory, visiting business customers face-to-face to resolve outstanding utility debt. You'll spend your working week out on the road, visiting SMEs and speaking directly with business owners and decision-makers.

The Role

  • Visit commercial premises across your territory to recover outstanding B2B utility debt
  • Speak face-to-face with business owners and decision-makers
  • Understand the circumstances behind outstanding balances and find a workable resolution
  • Take payments and negotiate structured repayment plans
  • Re-engage customers where previous telephone/email contact has failed
  • Handle difficult conversations professionally, firmly and fairly
  • Manage your own diary, route planning and caseload across the territory
  • Work autonomously whilst maintaining accurate case records

What We're Looking For

You MUST have previous face-to-face field experience involving debt recovery, collections or enforcement.

We're particularly interested in people from backgrounds such as:

  • Field Debt Recovery / Field Collections
  • Utility Debt / Revenue Protection
  • Warrant or Visiting Officer roles
  • Field-based arrears or payment resolution

You'll also need:

  • Experience visiting customers face-to-face to discuss outstanding debt
  • Confidence dealing with business/commercial customers
  • Experience managing your own geographical territory or field workload
  • Strong negotiation and objection-handling skills
  • The confidence to walk into a business and initiate a potentially difficult conversation
  • Full UK driving licence

Please note

If your experience is solely office-based Credit Control, Accounts Receivable or telephone Collections, this role won't be the right fit.

This is a genuinely field-based role requiring you to travel throughout your territory every day and recover debt through face-to-face conversations with business customers.

Package

  • Defined geographical territory
  • Full training and ongoing development

If you're already working in field collections, debt recovery, enforcement, revenue protection or warrants and want a role focused on resolution rather than heavy-handed enforcement, we'd like to hear from you.
