Herndon, Virginia (primary) | Additional regional project hubs across the U.S.

$220K base + 10% bonus (benchmark range)

 

About the Opportunity

Few sectors are scaling faster than mission critical and data center construction — and this is your chance to lead finance for one of the fastest-growing divisions in the country. This group has seen extraordinary growth, with multi-billion-dollar programs already underway for top-tier technology clients.

 

As Senior Controller, you’ll be the financial anchor supporting high-volume, complex projects while mentoring strong accounting teams and partnering closely with operations leadership.

 

What You’ll Do

• Oversee financial management for multiple large-scale projects across several regions
• Drive forecasting, reporting, and cost control processes
• Partner with operations to deliver accurate, timely financial insights
• Provide stability and leadership to established project accounting teams
• Improve visibility and efficiency through better systems and reporting tools
• Serve as a trusted liaison between project finance, project controls, and executive leadership

•  

What You Bring

• 10–15+ years of construction finance experience (general contractor or self-performing environment ideal)
• Deep knowledge of WIP, forecasting, cost reporting, and revenue recognition
• Experience managing and developing accounting staff
• Strategic mindset — comfortable balancing project-level detail with big-picture portfolio oversight
• Familiarity with major ERPs
• CPA or MBA preferred but not essential

 

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a high-impact position within a rapidly growing, well-capitalized national contractor specializing in complex, high-volume mission critical projects. You’ll join an experienced finance leadership team and have the opportunity to shape the next phase of financial maturity and system evolution.
