Monitor working capital, cash flow, aged receivables, holdbacks, and collection risks.
Oversee centralized payroll for hourly, salaried, seasonal, unionized, and non-union employees across multiple companies and jurisdictions.
Ensure operational finance activities comply with internal policies, delegated approval authorities, collective agreements, applicable legislation, and established control procedures.
Identify opportunities to standardize, automate, and improve finance processes, controls, reporting, and service delivery.
Establish meaningful performance measures for payroll, AP, AR, collections, and working capital.
Mentor, coach, and develop employees, creating opportunities for growth and preparing team members to take on broader responsibilities.
Build a capable, accountable, collaborative, and high-performing finance operations team.

What You Bring:

At least 8–10 years of progressive finance experience, including leadership responsibility.
Strong experience in payroll, AP, AR, collections, working capital, and financial controls.
Experience in highway maintenance, construction, infrastructure, transportation, utilities, field services, or another contract-based industry is preferred.
Experience supporting multiple companies, locations, and operating teams.
Knowledge of project accounting, work in progress, forecasting, and cost analysis.
Experience with unionized payroll, collective agreements, ERP systems, and process improvement is an asset.
