A bit about us:

We are a well-established commercial general contractor based in the Twin Cities, with more than six decades in the market.

We’re a union contractor that’s growing on purpose, and we’re building out our accounting team to support that next phase. Our culture runs on a few simple commitments: care for others, communicate openly, go the extra mile for customers and teammates, and take on challenges with a can-do attitude.

Why join us?

• Direct report to the CFO, with hands-on training from a seasoned Senior Accountant • A defined career path • Annual performance bonus plus a profit-share 401(k) that historically averages 8–10%, with no employee contribution required • 100% employer-paid employee medical premium • Flexible time off, plus flex time for appointments and life that doesn’t count against it • Hybrid flexibility possible once you’re up to speed • A growing company where your work keeps the business running and directly supports project teams
