With approximately 50 employees, we are a well-established and financially stable custom steel fabrication company entering an exciting new chapter.

After the retirement of our long-tenured Controller, we are searching for the right person to become a key member of our leadership team.

This isn't a corporate accounting role.

This is a true Plant Controller position where you'll see projects move from blueprint to finished product while providing the financial leadership that helps the business succeed.

If you enjoy manufacturing, project accounting, job costing and working directly with owners who value financial insight, we'd like to meet you.

Why This Opportunity?
You'll work directly with our two owners who remain actively involved in estimating and operations, giving you a genuine seat at the management table.

You'll also benefit from an experienced Controller who has returned on an interim basis and is committed to mentoring the successful candidate during the transition.

This is an excellent opportunity for either:

An experienced CPA looking for a long-term leadership role; or

An ambitious accounting professional with strong manufacturing or construction finance experience who is ready to take the next step with mentorship and support.
