Job Description

MasTec's MES segment (Power Delivery / CE&I) is scaling rapidly into large, discrete capital projects including hyperscaler/data-center work but is using Vista by Viewpoint (recently migrated to Vista Cloud) at a fraction of its capability. The team needs an experienced Vista consultant to assess current usage of the Job Cost, Job Billing, and Project Management modules, design and configure a job-cost-driven setup appropriate for large capital projects, and train a small internal team to run it with light ongoing support afterward. This is a hands-on configuration and advisory role, not a system implementation from scratch: MasTec has been live on Vista for ~5 years and understands the platform generally, but has essentially never used the job cost / PM modules.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct discovery with finance, project controls, and PM stakeholders to document current Vista usage and identify gaps against MasTec's target processes for large capital project accounting.

  • Assess and reconfigure Vista's Job Cost, Job Billing, and PM modules to support job-based (rather than legacy service-management) workflows.

  • Design cost structures that support forward-looking projections and estimates-to-complete, not just historical job cost including data structured to flow cleanly into MasTec's Qlik reporting environment.

  • Advise on work breakdown structures, contract/billing setup, change order processing, and estimate-to-complete tracking for large, multi-hundred-million-dollar projects.

  • Produce a scoped roadmap/estimate (following initial discovery) that MasTec's finance leadership can prioritize against.

  • Train a limited internal user group (~20 people) on the redesigned Vista job cost workflows.

  • Provide ongoing technical support after go-live as MasTec's usage matures (T&M basis).

  • Work within MasTec's existing Vista Cloud environment; be mindful that any process changes should reasonably ease a future Oracle Fusion data conversion.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong hands-on expertise with Vista by Viewpoint, specifically the Job Cost, Job Billing, and Project Management modules (Vista Cloud experience a plus).

  • Demonstrated experience configuring job cost / project accounting structures for large, complex capital projects (construction, utility, infrastructure, or similar project-based industries).

  • Experience with work breakdown structures, contract and billing setup, change orders, and estimates-to-complete / cost-to-complete reporting.

  • Ability to work independently in a T&M advisory model assessing a mature-but-underutilized system and recommending pragmatic, prioritized next steps rather than a ground-up implementation.

  • Strong stakeholder-facing communication skills; comfortable running discovery interviews and delivering findings/roadmaps to finance leadership.

  • Experience training end users and documenting new workflows.
