Job description

Lead Enterprise Accounting for a Growing Global Company

Roeslein is an employee-owned global engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction (EPC) company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. For more than 35 years, the company has partnered with leading industrial clients to deliver complex projects across North America and around the world. Known for engineering excellence, innovation, and long-term customer partnerships, Roeslein continues to grow while maintaining the entrepreneurial culture of a privately held, employee-owned organization.

As the company continues to expand, Roeslein is seeking an experienced Enterprise Controller to provide strategic leadership for its accounting organization.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this newly structured role will lead accounting across a complex, multi-entity domestic and international organization while partnering closely with finance, operations, and executive leadership to strengthen accounting processes, improve financial visibility, and support the company's continued growth.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an accomplished Controller or senior accounting leader who enjoys building high-performing teams, improving processes, partnering with the business, and helping shape the future of a growing global organization.

Why This Opportunity?

As Roeslein has grown, finance leadership responsibilities have evolved. This role has been intentionally restructured to provide dedicated leadership for the enterprise accounting function and position the organization for its next phase of growth.

You'll lead an established accounting organization that includes regional and project accounting leaders while helping strengthen consistency, improve scalability, and develop the next generation of accounting leadership across the business.

What You'll Do

As Enterprise Controller, you will:

• Lead accounting operations across multiple domestic and international entities.
• Oversee the monthly close, consolidations, financial reporting, and accounting operations while ensuring accuracy, consistency, and strong internal controls.
• Provide leadership and development for regional and project accounting leaders while fostering accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Partner with operations to strengthen project accounting, cost visibility, and financial performance across a project-based business.
• Collaborate with FP&A, treasury, tax, IT, and executive leadership to improve financial insight and support sound business decisions.
• Partner with finance and IT leadership to help complete the company's Oracle implementation while continuing to improve reporting capabilities, accounting workflows, and financial systems.

Why Roeslein?

• Employee-owned organization with a long-term perspective and strong financial foundation.
• Opportunity to partner directly with an experienced CFO and executive leadership team.
• High-impact leadership role with visibility across the enterprise.
• Ability to influence the future of the accounting organization while supporting a growing global business.
• Collaborative culture where finance is viewed as a strategic business partner.

If you're an accounting leader looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while helping shape the future of a growing global organization, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

The ideal candidate is an experienced accounting leader who combines strong technical expertise with a practical, collaborative leadership style.

Qualified candidates will bring:

• CPA strongly preferred.
• 12+ years of progressive accounting leadership experience.
• Experience serving as a Controller, Assistant Controller, Director of Accounting, or similar senior accounting leader within a complex, multi-entity organization.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting, consolidations, internal controls, and audit support.
• Experience with project accounting, cost-to-complete accounting, percentage-of-completion accounting, or similar project-based accounting environments.
• Industry experience in construction, EPC, industrial services, manufacturing, energy, or other project-driven businesses is strongly preferred.
• Experience improving accounting processes, ERP systems, financial reporting, or business operations. Oracle experience is helpful but not required.
• A hands-on leadership style with the ability to influence across a growing, fast-paced organization.
