ControllerConfidential Search | ConstructionOur client, a growing multi-entity construction company, is looking for a Controller who knows how to keep the numbers tight, the cash moving, and the operation running clean.

This isn't a back-office-only role. They need someone who can get into the day-to-day, understand how the business really works, and bring strong financial leadership to an operation with multiple companies, moving parts, job costs, payroll demands, and union reporting. If you've worked in construction, manufacturing, or fabrication and know the difference between just closing the books and actually helping run a business, this role will get your attention.

They're looking for someone who can build structure, improve processes, and keep financial operations sharp while supporting long-term growth.
