What We're Looking For

We are looking for more than someone who can close the books.

The right Director will understand the business behind the numbers. You will be expected to identify trends, challenge assumptions, recognize potential project problems, and provide ownership with the information needed to make better decisions. You will partner with the organization and serve as a wingman/woman to the CFO.

You should be comfortable handling day-to-day accounting transactions while also overseeing and analyzing business and project profitability.  This position offers a clear path to VP of Finance and, over time, eventually to CFO.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to become a key member of the leadership team of a successful private equity-backed electrical contracting company. The Controller will directly impact financial performance, project profitability, cash flow, and the business's continued growth.

If you are an experienced construction finance and accounting professional who wants to be involved in the business—not just the books—we would like to hear from you.
