Job description

Building Better Communities

At Rapid-Span, we do more than build bridges; we lead the bridge manufacturing industry in Western Canada by delivering top-tier service, quality, and safety. Our mission is to create sustainable and essential infrastructure that fosters growth, development, and safety for communities across Canada.

The Opportunity: Accounting Technician

Rapid-Span is seeking a detail-driven, adaptable Accounting Technician to support a range of accounting responsibilities in a collaborative, cross-trained finance team. This role offers the chance to build hands-on expertise in payroll, accounts payable, reporting, and—with time and support—accounts receivable.

You’ll join a team that values accuracy, reliability, and continuous improvement. We’re currently modernizing our systems and processes, including automation of time and attendance and AP, which creates opportunities to improve how we work. If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes initiative, and wants to grow in a stable, long-term role, we want to hear from you.

Why Join Us?

• Team-Based Culture: We believe in cross-training, mutual support, and pitching in when needed so no one is ever stuck.

• Modernization & Growth: We’re actively improving our systems, including automation of time and attendance and AP—bringing great opportunities for skill-building.

• Supportive Environment: Join a positive, solutions-focused team where everyone is respected and encouraged to make things better.

• Competitive Compensation: Enjoy a comprehensive package that includes a competitive salary.

• Work-Life Balance: Full-time hours (8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) with some flexibility when needed. This is an on-site role with no hybrid or remote option.

• Location: Our office in the Spallumcheen, BC Industrial Park.

Key Responsibilities

• Process bi-weekly payroll using Clarity

• Back up accounts payable: invoice entry, coding, vendor communication, and payment preparation

• Prepare internal financial reports and recurring reconciliations

• Assist with automation and improvements to time and attendance and AP systems

• Learn and support accounts receivable processes over time

• Provide general accounting support and collaborate with team members on shared responsibilities

• Identify ways to streamline data entry and reporting

• Ensure timely remittances, filings, and completion of month-end and year-end tasks

• Provide back-up support for other admin and finance team members as needed

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of relevant accounting experience, including payroll and AP

• Experience with Clarity or D365 is an asset, but not required—we’re happy to train the right person

• Solid understanding of accounting fundamentals and eagerness to learn new systems

• Comfortable working in a multi-system environment, especially during process transitions

• High level of accuracy, dependability, and attention to detail

• A self-starter with a collaborative mindset and a drive to make things more efficient

• Strong communication skills and the ability to contribute positively to a close-knit team

• Comfortable in a fully on-site work setting

If you’re looking for a stable, long-term accounting opportunity where you can grow, be valued, and help shape better systems, we’d love to hear from you!
