Chief Financial Officer

About the role

Based at our corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as part of the executive leadership team of the entire group of companies will report directly to the CEO and partner closely with the COO during an exciting phase of regional and national expansion. This leader will safeguard the financial health, enterprise value, and risk profile of a large mechanical and industrial contracting and fabrication enterprise. Supporting a growing union and professional workforce of 1,500+ employees, including professional engineers, project managers, field trades and shop fabricators, this role requires a dynamic executive who can maintain the entrepreneurial speed of a privately held business while deploying the institutional financial controls necessary to scale multi-state operations.

This position may be based out of our Beaver Falls, Warrendale, or McMurray office locations. There is a reason why McCarl's is consistently ranked among the leading industrial contractors in the country: the caliber of our people. We are committed to recruiting and retaining professional, dependable team members who are dedicated to customer satisfaction, exceptional job performance, and attention to detail. We build upon this strong foundation by offering ongoing training, career development, and opportunities for growth.
