Accounts Receivable Specialist (Remote)

Job Description

Job Description

Construction AR at volume requires someone who knows the billing cycle before the invoice goes out, not just after payment is overdue.

A pipeline contractor is hiring an AR Specialist to support a growing portfolio of approximately 50 active California construction projects. This is a newly created role — the team's project load has grown and the work needs a dedicated seat.

You'll own the billing cycle from progress billing through collections, work directly with project managers to keep documentation clean, and operate remotely with occasional in-person team events in Corona — typically no more than four times a year.

If you know construction AR and you want to join a stable, tenured team that's growing, this is worth a look.

What you'll own

• Prepare and process progress billings, AIA billing, and retention billing across an active project portfolio
• Manage lien releases and preliminary notices in compliance with California construction lien law
• Apply customer payments
• Follow up with customers on outstanding balances and past-due accounts
• Coordinate with project managers to resolve billing gaps, documentation issues, and change orders
• Monitor the AR inbox and respond to inquiries

What you bring

• 1–2 years of AR, billing, or accounting experience — construction or project-based environment a strong plus
• Familiarity with progress billing, AIA billing, and lien releases
• Proficiency in Excel; pivot tables and lookups a plus
• Strong follow-through on collections — comfortable making calls and tracking responses

Why this one is worth a look

• Up to $31/hour depending on experience
• Newly created role on a growing team — you're being added because the work is there, not backfilling a problem
• Remote with genuine flexibility — in-person events in Corona roughly four times a year
• Average team tenure of 10+ years — you're joining people who know the industry and know the company
• Stable, connected accounting team that cross-trains and covers each other
• Reports to both the Controller and an AR Supervisor — visible from day one with real support above you
