• Partner with PMs to develop and maintain supported Estimates to Complete (ETC) and Estimate at Completion (EAC) forecasts based on remaining scope, staffing, labor mix, commitments, schedule, and delivery risks.

• Provide validated project information to FP&A and business-unit leadership while supporting consistent processes, dashboards, and PM financial training

• Manage monthly revenue-recognition inputs and review project labor, expenses, subconsultant costs, commitments, and transfers for accuracy and compliance
• Coordinate with PMs and Project Billers to address invoice readiness, unbilled items, collection risks, funding constraints, and potential write-offs
• Identify and quantify staffing, labor-mix, utilization, and schedule risks affecting forecast project performance
• Set up and maintain projects in Deltek Vantagepoint, including contract structure, phases, budgets, billing terms, revenue methods, and required financial attributes
• Review contracts, amendments, additional services, and extra work authorizations for financial terms, limits, milestones, and project risks

What you bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Engineering or a related field; equivalent project-finance experience may be considered
• 3 or more years of experience in project accounting, project controls, project financial management, operational finance, or professional services accounting
• Working knowledge of WIP, ETC/EAC forecasting, revenue recognition, project billing, accounts receivable, project margin, and contract administration
• Proficiency with Excel and project-based ERP systems; Deltek Vantagepoint and Power BI experience is preferred
• Ability to communicate financial concepts clearly, ask informed questions, manage multiple priorities, and build productive partnerships with PMs
• Experience in engineering, construction, survey, architecture, or another project-based professional services environment is strongly preferred

• Excellent compensation package
• Outstanding holiday and paid-time-off programs
