Job description

Title: Project Costing Analyst

Location: Greater Toronto Area

Company: Triumph Group of Companies

Role Overview

The Project Costing Analyst sits at the center of project financial operations at Triumph, supporting project managers across all divisions with the cost data, system setup, and reporting they need to run their projects effectively. You will own job setup and maintenance in Sage, work directly with PMs on cost updates and forecasts, prepare WIP and budget reports, and serve as the first point of contact for Sage troubleshooting and error resolution. This role spans a wide range of construction work, from roofing and waterproofing to glazing and restoration, so you will regularly interact with multiple teams and project types. Good work here means project managers have accurate numbers when they need them, Sage is set up correctly from day one, and issues get caught and resolved before they show up in the financials. The people who thrive in this role are detail‑oriented, comfortable owning a system, and know how to work with busy PMs without adding friction to their day.

What We Offer

• Salary: Commensurate with experience
• Comprehensive health and dental benefits
• On‑site role based in the Greater Toronto Area
• Stable, full‑time work across a growing multi‑division construction group
• Exposure to a wide range of construction sectors including roofing, glazing, waterproofing, and restoration
• Collaborative team environment with direct access to project managers and division leadership
• Opportunity to grow your career in construction finance and project controls

What You Bring to the Table

Technical Skills

• 3 to 5 years of experience in project costing, cost control, or financial tracking in a construction or trades environment
• Hands‑on experience with Sage 300 CRE or a comparable job cost accounting system, including job setup, cost coding, and budget management
• Advanced Excel skills including pivot tables, formulas, and financial modelling for cost tracking and variance analysis
• Familiarity with Smartsheet, Power Apps, or similar workflow and reporting tools is an asset
• Ability to read and interpret construction project budgets, purchase orders, subcontractor quotes, and billing documentation

Attributes

• You stay organized across multiple active projects and keep your data accurate and up to date without needing to be reminded
• You are comfortable working with numbers and can spot a variance or setup error quickly and explain what it means in plain language
• You build effective working relationships with project managers and finance teams, making it easy for them to get the cost information they need
• You communicate directly and flag issues early, rather than waiting until a problem has grown into something bigger
• You take ownership of your work and follow through on commitments, even when the project is moving fast and priorities are shifting

Duties & Responsibilities

• Set up new jobs in Sage across Triumph divisions, including cost code configuration aligned to estimates, budget loading, and ongoing budget updates as projects evolve
• Identify and resolve job setup issues in Sage, including misaligned cost codes, duplicate entries, and configuration errors before they impact project reporting
• Work directly with project managers on cost updates, commitments, and forecasts, ensuring job cost data is current and accurate throughout the project lifecycle
• Support job cost analysis for active projects, correcting misapplied costs and preparing cost summaries for PM review
• Prepare WIP inputs, red flag reports, and budget reporting updates on a regular cadence for finance and leadership review
• Support accounts receivable, holdback tracking, and billing data preparation in coordination with the project and finance teams
• Serve as first‑line Sage support for the project management team, troubleshooting errors across costing, AP, purchasing, inventory, and billing
• Identify and escalate structured system or process issues with clear documentation of the problem and its impact on project financials
• Support internal invoicing and intercompany allocations, including equipment, fuel, and maintenance cost allocation across projects and divisions
• Document costing workflows, support Smartsheet and Power Apps process improvements, and develop practical guides for PM use
