Job Cost Position Summary

Vee-Jay is a concrete contracting company built on trust, craftsmanship, and teamwork. We’re looking for a Job Cost Specialist to join our Accounting team — someone who takes pride in accuracy, thrives in a fast-paced construction environment, and enjoys connecting the dots between numbers and real-world projects.

This role bridges Accounting and Operations, providing job cost visibility that helps Project Managers, Estimators, and company leadership make better decisions. It’s hands-on and detail-driven, involving both transactional work and data analysis, with growing opportunities to improve systems and reporting processes as we modernize.

Key Responsibilities

Job Cost & Accounting Support

  • Gather, organize, and enter project cost data using Viewpoint Vista, Excel, and TrackVia
  • Maintain and reconcile budgets, costs, and job-level reporting accuracy
  • Assist with budget vs. actual tracking, cost variance review, and related analyses
  • Support the month-end close process with job cost and accrual adjustments
  • Compile cost data and documentation for internal reporting and management review

Cross-Department Collaboration

  • Act as a bridge between Accounting, Project Management, Estimating, and Payroll
  • Communicate regularly with team members to collect updates and resolve discrepancies
  • Troubleshoot cost or coding issues by collaborating across functions
  • Ensure data consistency between field reporting, invoices, and financial records
  • Process Improvement & Reporting

  • Contribute to developing new reports, templates, and internal dashboards
  • Identify and implement opportunities to improve efficiency and accuracy in cost tracking
  • Support ongoing initiatives to automate or streamline manual processes
  • Assist in documenting procedures and standardizing recurring workflows
  • Administrative & Systems Tasks

  • Perform data entry and document review with precision and timeliness
  • Manage updates and changes to project-specific financial data
  • Maintain strong version control and backup practices for reporting files
  • Support audit and review requests with organized, clearly labeled documentation
  • What Makes This Role Right for You

  • You enjoy structure, accuracy, and following data from source to outcome
  • You take pride in being the steady, reliable point of contact others count on
  • You like seeing how your work connects to real projects in the field
  • You’re curious about improving processes and open to learning new tools
  • You want to be part of a close-knit team that values accountability and progress
