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.

Accounts Payable

  • Process high-volume vendor invoices with precision and speed
  • Perform 3-way matching (POs, receipts, invoices)
  • Investigate discrepancies and track down missing info without delay
  • Prepare weekly and month end check runs
  • Assist with month-end close
  • Keep vendor files up to date and relationships running smooth

Administrative & Operational Support

  • Answer phones professionally and route calls as needed
  • Purchase safety gear and office/field supplies as requested
  • Assist with general office tasks and cross-functional needs

Payroll Backup

  • Serve as primary backup for payroll processing during absences or peak periods
  • Help with timecard reviews, data entry, and payroll system updates
  • Coordinate with HR and accounting to ensure payroll accuracy

Must-Haves

  • 2+ years of accounts payable experience (construction industry a plus)
  • Working knowledge of accounting systems (Foundation, Viewpoint, Trimble etc.)
  • Some prior payroll experience is preferred — or at least a strong aptitude and willingness to learn
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and reliable under pressure
  • Team player with a flexible, proactive mindset
  • Familiarity with payroll systems and processes is a plus
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
