Premier Staffing Solution • Keene, OH

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Keene Plant Controller is the financial backbone of a ~$100M opto-mechanical defense and imaging manufacturing operation, owning the integrity of the plant's financials from the shop floor up. This hands-on role demands deep expertise in internal controls (SOX, inventory, and revenue-cycle safeguards over a large, WIP-heavy balance sheet), cost accounting (standard costing, BOMs, work orders, and manufacturing variance analysis), and managerial accounting (product-line and program margin analytics, absorption, and the monthly plant P&L, inventory, and capital forecast). The Controller partners directly with Operations to tie financial results to production performance-separating real cost improvements from mix-challenges assumptions unsupported by manufacturing data, and delivers audit-ready reporting and honest, decision-useful analysis to leadership.

Requirements

• 7+ years in cost and managerial accounting within a complex discrete-manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated track record building and enforcing rigorous internal controls.
• Strong ERP/MES fluency.
• The instinct to raise the hard question before a variance becomes a surprise.
