Looking to move beyond traditional accounting and become a strategic partner to project leadership? This is an opportunity to work directly with Project Managers, influence key business decisions, and drive the financial success of complex construction projects.

• Play a highly visible role connecting Finance and Operations.

• Expand your skills in forecasting, reporting, dashboards, and financial analysis tools.
• Collaborate closely with experienced Project Managers and Finance leadership.

Qualifications for the Cost Control & Project Controls Analyst:

3–7 years of experience in construction accounting, project controls, cost control, project accounting, or a related field.
