• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 5-8 years of progressive accounting experience
• Experience within construction, electrical contracting, renewable energy, or other project-based industries
• Strong understanding of job costing, WIP schedules, and percentage-of-completion accounting

• Takes pride in producing accurate, high-quality work
• Thinks beyond transactions to improve systems and processes
• Communicates effectively with both finance and operations teams
• Can balance multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail
• Enjoys working independently while collaborating across departments
