Job description

I'm partnered with a top Midwest general contractor working on some of Columbus most exciting projects- healthcare to entertainment to education!

This is an opportunity to join a nationally recognized builder with a major Ohio backlog, approximately 80% repeat business, and a reputation for developing and retaining its people. Despite its national presence, the company has maintained a close-knit, family-oriented culture where employees are genuinely valued and encouraged to build long-term careers.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Promotion & compensation reviews every 6 months — recognition and career progression aren't limited to annual reviews
• Exceptional stability — a significant Ohio backlog and approximately 80% repeat business with established clients
• High-profile projects — work alongside teams delivering major healthcare, higher education, industrial, mission critical, and commercial projects across Ohio
• Family-oriented culture — the resources and financial strength of a major national contractor with the personal feel of a local team
• Strong employee retention — a company that invests in mentorship, professional development, and promoting from within
• Continued Columbus growth — join an established regional operation with a strong pipeline and long‑term opportunities
• Competitive compensation & benefits — bonus opportunities, 401(k) match, student loan assistance, tuition reimbursement, and generous PTO
• Real influence — serve as a trusted financial partner to Project Managers and operations leadership, not just another person processing invoices

The Role

• Oversee financial accounting for multiple construction projects
• Manage owner billings, job costs, subcontractor payments, and reconciliations
• Partner directly with Project Managers on project financial performance
• Support financial reporting, forecasting, and project closeout
• Provide guidance and support to junior accounting team members

What They're Looking For

• Experience in construction/project accounting
• Strong understanding of job costing, billing, and project financials
• Ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate with operations teams
• Someone looking for a long‑term home with opportunities to continue advancing
