CandorBuild Construction Corp. is a Saskatoon-based general contractor working in commercial, institutional and remote northern construction, with projects across Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba.

The Controller is responsible for the financial management of CandorBuild's construction operations, including job cost accounting, work-in-progress reporting, cash management, payroll, compliance, and financial reporting to the company's surety, banking and insurance partners.

CandorBuild is growing. The company is moving its accounting from a fractional external arrangement to an in-house function, and is replacing its current mix of accounting and reporting tools with a purpose-built construction ERP. The Controller will take a lead role in that implementation and in shaping how the company's financial systems and reporting work from that point forward.

The position works closely with project management, estimating and field operations. CandorBuild's leadership team works collaboratively and across functions, and the Controller is expected to communicate financial reality in plain language to stakeholders.

The role suits an experienced construction accountant who is comfortable owning a full accounting function and building the systems that support it.
