This is a newly created and highimpact role supporting projectdriven operations across multiple business units and acting as a key financial partner to operational leadership.

This position sits at the intersection of field operations and corporate FP&A, offering meaningful ownership of forecasting, budgeting, and performance analysis in a handson, executionoriented environment. The organization is actively scaling through acquisitions, creating strong exposure to integration, systems, and process improvement initiatives.

What You'll Do
    • Own monthly forecasting and annual budgeting for assigned operating units
    • Consolidate and analyze financial performance, projections, and trends for business and executive leadership
    • Partner directly with operations and sales leaders to drive margin, cost, and performance insights
    • Analyze SG&A, project profitability, backlog, and costtocomplete metrics
    • Build and maintain financial models to support planning, scenario analysis, and decisionmaking
    • Monitor cash flow, billing cadence, and collections timing across project portfolios
    • Identify risks and opportunities and support mitigation planning
    • Act as a key liaison between business units and corporate FP&A on systems, forecasting, and process improvements

What We're Looking For
    • 7-10 years of FP&A experience in a projectbased environment (construction, engineering, energy services, infrastructure, or similar)
    • Demonstrated experience supporting multiple business units or regions
    • Strong understanding of project economics, forecasting, and cash flow dynamics
    • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills with the ability to translate data into clear insights
    • ERP experience required (IFS, Oracle, SAP, NetSuite, JD Edwards, Viewpoint, Deltek, or similar)
    • Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting; MBA or CPA preferred
    • Comfortable operating in a fastpaced, evolving, PEbacked environment
    • Confident communicator able to engage with leaders at all levels

Why This Role Stands Out

    • PEbacked growth platform with acquisition and integration experience
    • Projectbased environment where FP&A directly influences outcomes
    • Flexible hybrid work model (with access to a Midwest office)
    • Competitive compensation, bonus potential, strong benefits, and PTO
    • Longterm career growth within a stable yet expanding organization
