Project  Cost Accountant

Salary: $160,000 – $190,000 + Bonus DOE!

Project Cost Accountant — Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High-visibility role supporting multi-million dollar capital projects
• Join a rapidly growing, publicly traded energy/infrastructure company
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and operational teams
• Opportunity to own project financials end-to-end (not just transactional work)
• Strong runway for growth as the company continues major expansion over the next 3–5 years
• Collaborative, fast-moving environment with real impact on business decisions

Project Cost Accountant — Key Responsibilities

• Track and monitor budget-to-actual spend across large-scale construction projects; analyze variances and provide forecasts
• Partner with Operations and project teams to understand cost drivers, progress, and financial risks
• Perform detailed cost analysis across labor, materials, equipment, overhead, and subcontractors
• Prepare project cost reports, dashboards, and variance analyses to support decision-making
• Establish and maintain project budgets, cost codes, and tracking within ERP (SAP/WBS preferred)
• Review and validate invoices, purchase orders, and change orders for accuracy and compliance
• Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve discrepancies and recommend corrective actions
• Support monthly close including accruals, reconciliations, and project-level reporting
• Ensure project financials align with GAAP and internal controls and roll into broader segment reporting

Project Cost Accountant — Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of project or cost accounting experience, ideally supporting capital projects
• Experience with ERP systems (SAP/WBS strongly preferred) and project tracking environments
• Background in construction, energy, infrastructure, or industrial projects highly preferred
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, AFE tracking, and cost controls
• Accounting degree required; CPA or public accounting background is a plus
