Job Description

Plant Controller

Salary: $145,000-$170,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Our client is a rapidly growing manufacturer of power generation and industrial engine solutions and is adding a Plant Controller to its leadership team

  • The role reports directly to senior finance leadership and serves as a key business partner to plant operations

  • High-visibility position with direct exposure to executive leadership and strategic decision-making

  • Opportunity to help drive operational performance, profitability, and continuous improvement initiatives

  • Play a critical role in supporting a manufacturing facility that is experiencing significant growth and expansion


Key Responsibilities for the Plant Controller:



  • Lead all plant accounting and financial reporting activities, including month-end close and financial statement preparation

  • Partner with operations leadership to analyze manufacturing costs, labor efficiency, inventory, and plant performance metrics

  • Develop and maintain annual budgets, forecasts, and variance analyses

  • Ensure accurate inventory accounting, cycle count programs, and physical inventory processes

  • Monitor standard costs and support cost reduction and continuous improvement initiatives

  • Provide financial insights and recommendations to support operational decision-making

  • Maintain strong internal controls and ensure compliance with company policies and accounting standards

  • Lead, mentor, and develop accounting and finance staff within the facility


Qualifications for the Plant Controller:



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience within a manufacturing environment

  • Publicly traded experience would be nice to see
