The Difference You Will Make: You won’t be stuck in a dusty back office. You will partner with project managers, collaborate with leadership, and help guide a growing company toward scalable success.

This role requires attention to detail, creative problem-solving, change management skills, and strategic focus. We need a Controller who can construct rock-solid financial frameworks with the same confidence our crew brings to a job site.
