Experience supporting project-based environments such as construction, engineering, HVAC, industrial, or manufacturing organizations is highly preferred.
Experience with project accounting systems; exposure to CMiC is a plus.
Adaptable, tech-savvy, and interested in process improvement initiatives.
Proven job stability and a desire to build a long-term career.

Why Consider This Project Accountant Opportunity?
