  • Run client engagements from start to finish, which includes planning, organizing, conducting, directing, and completing projects and services and managing projects to budget.

  • Collaborating across Grant Thornton service lines and with international colleagues to integrate diverse expertise and deliver comprehensive, high-impact client solutions.

  • Manage, develop, train, and mentor staff on projects and assess performance for engagement and year-end reviews.

  • Perform engagement management responsibilities, including performance reviews, task delegation, project scheduling, project financials, quality review and client management.

  • Work closely with Grant Thornton Senior Managers, Managing Directors, and Partners to promptly identify and resolve client problems or issues.

  • Communicate findings clearly and concisely to a variety of internal and external stakeholders.

  • Play a key role in future business generation by identifying, developing, and securing new business opportunities.

  • Other job duties as assigned.

You have the following technical skills and qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Technology, MIS, Engineering, or related field required.

  • Proven capabilities in performing advisory services in the real estate and/or construction industries.

  • Strong computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite with a focus on robust excel capabilities.

  • Knowledge of various federal and state construction labor regulations and requirements, including the Federal Davis-Bacon Act.

  • Excellent analytical, research, and organizational skills with strong attention to detail.

  • Ability to work on multiple engagements and competing priorities in a rapidly growing, fast-paced, interactive, results-based team environment.

  • Exceptional client service and communication skills with a demonstrated ability to develop and maintain outstanding client relationships.

  • Ability to work additional hours as needed and travel to various client sites, both domestic and international.

  • Can travel as needed. Expected travel is 10% - 25%.

  • The base salary range for this position is between $138,000 and $172,500 per year. Placement within the pay range is at Grant Thornton's discretion, and it is based on multiple factors, including but not limit to, job-related knowledge/skills, experience, business needs, progression within the role, geographic location, and internal equity.
