Estimator Senior/Construction

Senior Cost Analyst

S. grocery category runs through this manufacturer's brand — and this is the dedicated manufacturing cost accounting seat sitting right at the heart of their next growth chapter.

This is a long-standing, family-owned dairy business — passed down across multiple generations — and the clear leader in two billion-dollar grocery categories. Its flagship products are the #1 brands in the U.With roughly $500M in yearly revenue and a handful of operating manufacturing sites across Texas, Ohio, and Arizona, the company is also mid-construction on a large new Midwest facility that will nearly double its total capacity. That expansion is driving genuine, structural demand on the finance team.

As the Senior Cost Analyst, you're the dedicated manufacturing cost accounting seat inside a centralized ops finance group. Your ongoing responsibilities span maintaining standard costs, analyzing purchase price and manufacturing variances, costing and reconciling inventory, booking month-end close entries, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with plant operations to run down inventory losses and push through fixes. Where it gets truly challenging is the people side: the plant crews include folks who've done this for two, three, even four-plus decades, and they've rightfully earned a healthy skepticism toward newcomers who show up with bright ideas but no rapport. People who lean into that will discover a deeply loyal, knowledgeable crew to build alongside. You'll report to the Operations Finance Manager — a roll-up-your-sleeves leader who rose through big manufacturing settings and brings a practical, improvement-minded approach to ops finance. She's actively shaping the team's structure, has a defined view of how this seat grows, and will invest real energy in the right person. As the new Midwest plant comes online, the team is slated to grow, and you'll likely gain influence over — or informal mentorship of — a future analyst. The finance group is small and collegial, with real room to reshape how the work gets done.

The tempo is steady and the work carries meaning — the products are tangible, the plants are tangible, and the people behind them have been at it for generations.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 serves as the system of record. Power BI and Power Automate are either in play or being stood up. The BOM consolidation work will mean getting deep into D365's inventory and production modules. You'll be expected to know Excel through its advanced functions and macros/VBA. Travel & Remote

This position can sit at the Dallas corporate office (relocating to Plano/Granite Park in roughly a year), or at the plant sites in Garland TX, Wooster OH, or Casa Grande AZ. Expect some travel to all of the plants — the hiring manager is aiming for at least one visit per site each quarter, which will fold in the new Midwest facility once it's running. Travel stays modest but matters for building relationships.
