Controller; Single-Incumbent

We are a well-established civil and utility construction firm (est. 1973) serving the Denver metro area. Our team values safety, quality, and collaboration, and we are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented professional to join our team.

We are committed to doing things the right way, with integrity and excellence. We take ownership of our performance and are committed to making things right when challenges arise.

We embrace challenges and relish the opportunity to deliver creative solutions. We approach the unfamiliar and difficult with curiosity, confidence, and enthusiasm.

We seek out partnerships and value the ideas of all involved. We build and lift each other, working together to bring out the best in everyone.

We make thoughtful decisions that build long-term value and future success. We are dedicated to shaping a positive environment for our company, our people and our communities.

The Finance & Accounting Manager is a hands‑on, single‑incumbent role responsible for performing the full spectrum of our accounting and finance operations. This position oversees and performs all day‑to‑day transactional work as well as higher‑level accounting, compliance, reporting, and audit coordination.

This role is ideal for an experienced construction accounting professional who is comfortable operating independently, managing both administrative “busy work” and complex accounting functions, and serving as the Company’s internal and outward facing primary financial resource.

Ideally this position will grow into, and eventually play a pivotal role in strategic financial planning and preparation for future development in support of our organizational opportunities.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in construction accounting, be proficient in payroll processing, and have prior experience in a small company or startup environment where flexibility and self‑direction are critical.

This individual ideally has the ability to tailor communication style to diverse audiences, translating financial information into clear, practical insights that help operational teams understand how their day‑to‑day decisions impact profitability and overall financial performance.
