  • Prior ERP system experience required
  • Deep knowledge of GAAP, cost accounting, and job costing methodologies
  • Strong command of budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and internal controls
  • Hands-on and operationally involved. Comfortable on the shop floor, not just behind a desk
  • Curious and inquisitive. Asks questions, digs into the numbers, understands the work behind them
Physical Requirements
  • Prolonged periods at a desk and on a computer
  • Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at times
  • Must wear appropriate PPE when visiting job sites (steel-toed boots, eyewear, hard hats)
