Job description

Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference.

We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you’ll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.

At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. We are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don’t be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!

Monitor project budgets, track expenses, and compile financial reports for leadership review

Communicate with subcontractors, consultants, and clients to keep projects aligned and on schedule

What You Will Need

5+ years of experience in a project analyst, project coordinator, or similar role (AEC or construction industry preferred)

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite

Experience with project management/accounting platforms such as Deltek Vantagepoint preferred
