Project Accountant/Billing (Complex Billing/Will Train) – Engineering Firm/Remote (Eastern or Central Time Zones)

This is an outstanding opportunity for a candidate who is seeking a remote position (Eastern or Central Time Zones) and enjoys analytical and detailed work.  If you or someone you know would be interested (there are multiple positions), we would be eager to connect with you.

 

Our client is a highly successful and rapidly-expanding engineering and construction firm with operations throughout the East Coast.  It specializes in environmental solutions, and has 100s of clients across the US, primarily in utilities and municipalities. 

 

Each client project is unique, complex and typically lasts multiple years and involves multiple sub-vendors.  As a result, client billing is also unique and complex. 

 

The Project Accountants work with the Project Teams to ensure that the billing is handled on a timely basis, is compliant with contract terms and project status and that it is clean and accurate. 

 

This is challenging and voluminous work and we seek candidates who have strong analytical skills, keen attention to detail and like to “solve puzzles.”  While some related industry experience would be valuable, client is prepared to train a high potential candidate.
