About the role

The Financial Analyst is an entry‑level role supporting a project in accounting and finance functions. Each Kiewit project operates like a small business, and the Financial Analyst handles critical tasks such as cost control, payroll, accounts payable/receivable, human capital management, and compliance. The role involves executing processes and using tools for labor, construction equipment, materials, and subcontract cost/revenue components, participating in month‑end close, and preparing financial reporting packages for project management.

Kiewit Power Market provides direct‑hire and construction services for power generation and distribution — natural gas plants, solar fields, nuclear facilities, energy storage, transmission lines, substations, and underground distribution — across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
