Project Accountant - Construction

A rapidly growing, private equity-backed organization in the construction space is seeking a Project Accountant to join their team during a period of expansion and transformation. Over the past 10 months, the company has successfully acquired 15 businesses, creating a dynamic, fast-evolving environment with significant opportunity for the right individual. This is not a “steady-state” accounting role — it is for someone who thrives in change, ambiguity, and building structure where it doesn’t yet exist.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own and validate job cost data across 25–30 active projects
• Analyze estimated vs. actual costs (materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors)
• Investigate and resolve cost discrepancies directly with field teams
• Partner closely with foremen and operations leaders to ensure accuracy
• Provide real-time insights into job profitability and performance
• Support leadership with actionable data in a high-volume project environment
• Work within ERP systems to maintain clean, reliable financial data

What This Role Requires:

• Experience in construction accounting / job costing
• Exposure to multiple concurrent projects (ideally up to $30M in total scope)
• Strong communication skills — ability to work directly with field personnel/foremen
• Comfort operating in a fast-changing, evolving environment
• Ability to challenge data, ask questions, and dig for answers
• Adaptability — processes, systems, and structure are still being built

Who Will Succeed Here:

• Someone who is comfortable with change
• Not afraid to operate in gray areas vs. perfect structure
• Proactive, communicative, and willing to pick up the phone
• Able to balance operational understanding with accounting discipline
• Looking for growth and long-term opportunity within a scaling organization

Benefits & Perks:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company contribution
• Paid time off + holidays
• Stable, full-time schedule with seasonal flexibility
• Opportunity to grow within a rapidly expanding organization
• Direct exposure to leadership and cross-functional teams
• Long-term career path as the company continues to scale through acquisition

We look forward to reviewing your resume!
