Project Accountant (Construction exp. req'd)

Job Details

The Project Cost Accountant is a specialized, career-track position responsible for tracking and managing financial performance across active commercial construction projects. This is not a generalist accounting role—it requires someone who understands the nuances of project-based cost accounting in a large-scale commercial construction environment.

Skills

• 1-10 years of experience: Demonstrated experience in project cost accounting within a commercial construction environment—large-scale projects required; residential or small contractor background will not be considered
• Proficiency in Procore and Sage Intacct strongly preferred
• Familiarity with or active curiosity about AI productivity tools
• Understanding of construction financials: WIP schedules, job costing, change order management, and subcontractor billing
• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously
• Collaborative communicator who works well with project managers and field teams
• Adaptable mindset

Why Join Us?

• 50-year track record of stability and growth on the Central Coast
• Family-oriented, community-rooted culture—flexible, non-corporate, and built on trust
• Opportunity to become the in-house expert in project accounting, not a stepping stone to a controller seat
• Company actively embraces AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT)—curious learners will thrive here
• Comprehensive benefits including 401K contribution (3-5%, non-matching—given to you regardless), HSA, medical, and annual performance bonuses
• Work on a diverse mix of large-scale commercial projects across multiple industries
