  • Partner with factory and project teams to analyze job costs and improve performance
  • Own key aspects of the month-end close (JEs, reconciliations, variance analysis)

  • CPA or CMA
  • Experience with Power BI, Prophix, or AutoDesk
  • Background supporting project-based manufacturing or construction environments
