About the Role
We are seeking a Field Cost Accountant (FCA) to support project operations by managing cost tracking, procurement, and on-site coordination. This is a hands-on, field-based role that works closely with Project Managers to ensure projects run efficiently, stay on budget, and meet contractual requirements.
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys fast-paced environments, problem-solving, and being directly involved in project execution-not just behind a desk.

What You'll Do

Project Cost & Reporting

Track and manage all project costs (labor, equipment, materials, subcontractors)
Prepare daily cost reports (EPA 1900 / RCMS) and maintain accurate financial data
Support budgeting, forecasting, and cost visibility for project leadership

Procurement & Vendor Coordination

Source vendors, obtain quotes, and manage purchase orders, service agreements, and change orders
Perform cost analysis and support vendor selection
Ensure compliance with procurement processes and policies

Operations & Field Support

Coordinate personnel, equipment, and site logistics
Provide day-to-day administrative and operational support to field teams
Maintain documentation and ensure compliance with safety and reporting requirements

Team Collaboration

Partner with Project Managers and field leadership to support project execution
Act as the go-to resource for project tracking, reporting, and coordination

What We're Looking For

2+ years of experience in administrative, accounting, or project support roles
Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills
Excellent organization, multitasking, and communication skills
Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, field environment
Willingness to travel and work on project sites

Preferred:

Experience in construction, environmental, or field-based projects
Knowledge of cost tracking, procurement, or accounting processes

Work Environment

Field-based role (jobsite trailers and active project locations)
Exposure to outdoor conditions and active construction environments
Travel and potential relocation depending on project needs

Why This Role?

This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on project experience across cost management, procurement, and operations.

Apply today to be part of a team where your work directly impacts project success.
