Box Consulting Group is partnering with one of Western Canada’s most established general contractors to find a Senior Project Accountant for its Edmonton team.
This is a senior-level position supporting large, complex construction projects, including projects valued at $200M+ .
You’ll have the opportunity to take real ownership of project financials, work directly with operational leaders, and become a go-to resource within an established 10-person accounting team.
The company has a strong project pipeline across Alberta and Western Canada , giving you exposure to major institutional, commercial and industrial construction.
You’ll also have the backing and resources of a large organization while working within a collaborative local team.
Why This Role Stands Out Major project exposure: Work on complex construction projects valued at $200M+ Career progression: A true step up for a strong Project Accountant ready to operate at the senior level Leadership without bureaucracy: Mentor and support junior accountants without needing to move into a traditional people-management role Strong pipeline: Join a contractor with significant ongoing and future work across Alberta and Western Canada Autonomy: Take ownership of project financials and become a trusted partner to Project Managers and operational leadership Broader exposure: Gain experience with complex contracts, major clients, joint ventures and sophisticated project structures Established team: Join a 10-person Edmonton accounting group with experienced leadership and organizational support Long-term opportunity: Build your career within a large construction organization with operations across Western and Northern Canada What You’ll Be Doing You’ll take ownership of the financial administration of major construction projects from setup through closeout, partnering closely with Project Managers, Superintendents and the broader operations team.

You’ll likely bring: 5+ years of progressive accounting experience Experience in construction, general contracting or another project-based environment Strong project accounting and financial reporting experience Experience working with complex contracts, billing and project costs The ability to independently analyze financial information and identify potential issues Experience mentoring, supervising or informally supporting junior accounting staff Strong Excel and financial systems skills SAP and/or Textura experience is an asset Strong communication skills and the confidence to work directly with project and operational leaders A degree or diploma in Accounting, Finance or a related field, or equivalent experience Most importantly, you’re someone who doesn’t need to be heavily managed .
You can take ownership,
solve problems and be the person others turn to when they need an experienced accounting perspective.
Location Edmonton, AB | Full-Time | Permanent The role is based in Edmonton with occasional travel to Calgary, Red Deer and project sites .
Ready for the Next Step? If you’ve built a solid foundation in project accounting but feel ready for larger projects, greater autonomy, stronger career progression and more influence , this is an excellent opportunity to make that move.
