Job Description
The Opportunity
We are actively recruiting on behalf of a well-established, fast-paced construction company that values reliability, teamwork, and versatility. They’re looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist who’s more than just numbers — someone who’s a team player, a self-starter, and ready to pitch in wherever needed.
If you’re a roll-up-your-sleeves type who can process invoices in the morning, help order safety gear by lunch, and back up payroll in the afternoon — this team wants to meet you.
What You’ll Do
Your core responsibility is AP, but you're a utility player — ready to jump in wherever needed.

Administrative & Operational Support
- Answer phones professionally and route calls as needed

Payroll Backup
- Serve as primary backup for payroll processing during absences or peak periods
