About The Position

Benpro Technologies is a specialized metal bending and fabrication business serving infrastructure, industrial, energy, power generation, and architectural/structural markets across North America. They work on technically demanding projects involving large-scale pipe, tube, and structural bending applications for customers who require precision, responsiveness, and problem-solving capability. Benpro is part of a growing industrial ownership group alongside its sister company, Prooftest Consulting, a destructive testing and materials engineering business supporting pipeline, industrial, and energy-sector clients. Together, they are focused on building exceptional businesses through operational excellence, technology adoption, and continuous improvement. They are looking for a high-potential Controller who is energized by solving problems, improving systems, and helping build a scalable finance function for the future. The ideal candidate combines strong accounting fundamentals with curiosity, initiative, and a builder's mindset, and is excited by the idea of improving processes, leveraging technology (especially AI and automation tools) to drive efficiency and better decision-making, and helping create a modern finance function that supports growth. While the role is based within Benpro, the successful candidate will also oversee the finance function for sister company Prooftest Consulting and support the integration and financial oversight of future portfolio companies as they are added. The Controller will work closely with ownership and operational leadership across both businesses, providing financial insight, improving reporting, and helping drive better decision-making. As the organization continues to grow, the Controller will play an important role in implementing scalable systems, standardizing processes, and supporting future integration initiatives. This role offers significant opportunity to grow alongside the business. The Controller will manage one direct report (Financial Administrator).
