SIRIUS INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS INC.

THE ORGANIZATION

Sirius designs and manufactures chemical injection systems and instrumentation packages for upstream and midstream oil and gas operators. Their equipment runs in some of the harshest production environments in the world - Western Canada, the Permian, and increasingly the Middle East, Africa and Latin America - where precision matters and downtime costs money. Their technologies help eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, improve injection accuracy, and reduce manpower and chemical costs - two of their customers’ largest expenses. The portfolio includes solar-powered and AC chemical injection systems, environmentally friendly tank systems, and advanced automation technologies.

Founded in April 2003 in Alberta, Canada, Sirius is headquartered in Edmonton with U.S. operations in Midland, Texas (operating as Sirius Controls Inc.) since 2017. Sirius is a registered corporation with APEGA (Association of Professional Engineers) and was awarded the 2018 “Clean Technology Innovation” Award by CETAC-West. Since December 2024, Sirius has been backed by a private equity sponsor and is executing a multi-year growth plan across both countries, while adding key international markets.

THE PROSPECT





The Cost Accountant will build and own Sirius Controls’ cost accounting function within a growing, highly technical manufacturing environment. This is a hands‑on role for an experienced manufacturing Cost Accountant who understands not only how to operate within an established costing system, but how to design, implement, and improve one.

The role reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and will work closely with Operations, Production, Supply Chain, Engineering, Estimating, Warehouse, and Finance. The successful candidate will be embedded in the day‑to‑day manufacturing environment, developing a detailed understanding of how Sirius products are built and how material, labour, overhead, and other production costs flow through the business.

The successful candidate will serve as the internal subject‑matter expert for manufacturing costing, helping establish the costing framework, production routings, cost structures, controls, and reporting required to provide accurate and granular visibility into product costs and margins. Initially, the role will focus on ERP implementation, process documentation, costing design, and developing the foundation for full absorption costing. Following ERP go‑live, the Cost Accountant will assume full ownership of standard costing, production variance analysis, inventory valuation, cost reporting, and product profitability analysis.





This is an opportunity for someone who is energized by building systems rather than simply inheriting them. Sirius Controls is a fast‑paced, high‑growth organization, and the right individual will have the opportunity to make a visible operational impact.

Cost Accounting & Product Costing

- Design, implement, and maintain the Company’s standard costing framework, including material, labour, indirect costs, and manufacturing overhead.
- Maintain product cost structures aligned with bills of materials (BOMs), production routings, and manufacturing processes.
- Perform standard cost roll‑ups and ensure standards remain aligned with changes in material inputs, labour requirements, and production processes.
- Establish full absorption costing practices that provide accurate visibility into finished goods costs and product margins.
- Analyze cost of goods sold and gross margins across products, customers, product lines, and regions.

Variance Analysis & Operational Reporting

- Produce and analyze production cost reporting comparing standard costs to actual production costs.
- Investigate manufacturing variances, including purchase price, labour efficiency, usage, overhead absorption, and work order variances.
- Partner with Operations to identify root causes of variances and provide meaningful cost insights that support operational efficiency and margin improvement.
- Establish appropriate investigation thresholds and a regular reporting cadence for operational review.
