Pay:

From $28.00 per hour Expected hours: 28.0 - 40.0 per week Application Question(s): Do you prefer part time, full time or are you open to either? Provide an example how you had to create a new process or solve a number mystery within a former accounting role that you brought to management that resulted in saving the company money at the time? How do you define leadership? "Imagine you discover a systemic accounting error from two years ago that artificially inflated our company's profits. Correcting it now will cause us to miss our quarterly targets, negatively impact employee bonuses, and seriously damage our reputation with investors. However, leaving it alone carries a high risk of being flagged in a future external audit. Your direct manager hints that you should 'look the other way' for the sake of the team. How do you handle this situation, who do you communicate with, and where do your obligations lie?" What is your experience with construction and managing WIP? Please describe a specific instance in your previous role where you managed job costing for a multi-day or complex plumbing project (e.g., a major commercial build or a whole-home repipe). How did you track and allocate unbilled shop materials, vehicle/travel overhead, and labor variances (estimated vs. actual hours)? What specific accounting software or field service management tools did you use to manage this?"
