Plant Controller
About The Position
At Vessel Technologies, we're not just building housing—we're reimagining what housing can be. Our groundbreaking approach combines world-class design, advanced technology, and sustainable practices to redefine how people live and experience home. In 2024, Vessel reinvented the apartment building. Now, we’re scaling that vision—from projects in Connecticut today to Florida and ultimately across the nation. Vessel designs and delivers multi-family, multi-story apartment communities using a highly integrated model that combines off-site modular manufacturing with on-site assembly. Our factory in York, PA produces modular panel assemblies that bring manufacturing discipline, speed, and predictability to construction. $110,000 - $135,000 a year Role Overview The Plant Controller is a senior finance leader responsible for end-to-end cost control across Vessel’s manufacturing and construction operations.
