Original job description

Company Overview

Durwest has been a trusted leader in Construction and Project Management for over 40 years, with a strong presence on Vancouver Island and a reputation for successfully delivering complex projects with precision, collaboration, and care.

We are in an exciting period of growth and transformation. We have new leadership, a revitalized brand, and an elevated commitment to operational excellence and the Durwest Building Experience.

We are actively seeking professionals who take ownership, embrace growth, and build lasting relationships; individuals who are ready to help us shape the next chapter of Durwest.

Position Overview

Temporary full-time maternity leave coverage until April 2028, with potential for extension or transition to a permanent role.

As a key member of Durwest’s Finance and Accounting Team, the Project Accountant plays a hands-on role in bringing our construction projects to life behind the scenes. This role is at the heart of our operations, owning the financial story of each project from setup through closeout. You will ensure project financials are accurate, timely, and compliant, while partnering closely with the Controller to deliver reliable reporting, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure revenue is billed and collected in line with contract terms.

Beyond day-to-day accounting, this is an opportunity to make a real mark. The Project Accountant will help identify smarter, more efficient ways of working by leveraging technology to improve accounting processes and systems as Durwest continues to grow. If you enjoy detail, collaboration, and improving how things are done, this role offers the chance to build something better.
