Marcon Construction•Vancouver, BC

55d

About The Position

Marcon is seeking a Project Accountant II to support the financial management of our growing portfolio of development and construction projects across the Lower Mainland. This role plays an important part in maintaining accurate job cost reporting, preparing WIP schedules, monitoring project margins, and partnering with project teams to ensure disciplined financial performance throughout the construction lifecycle. About Us Many people will spend their lives in a Marcon home, so we have to build it right, every time. Founded in 1985, Marcon is an established real estate company specializing in acquiring, developing, building and managing properties across Metro Vancouver. A focus on quality and craft is what the business was built on, giving us a trusted name in the construction community. These principles have remained a focus as we’ve expanded into the real estate development and operations space, managing our own projects from conception through to execution, completion, and ongoing management. We are committed to providing elevated experiences at every touch point between our people, our buildings, and our communities. None of this is possible without a hardworking team working together to make it all happen. The Opportunity In this role, you will maintain accurate job cost records and ensure trade contractor and vendor costs are coded correctly across assigned projects. You will prepare and review monthly work-in-progress (WIP) schedules and support percentage-of-completion revenue recognition. You will monitor project financial performance, identifying margin risks and cost-to-complete concerns early so they can be addressed proactively. You will work closely with Project Managers and construction teams to review forecasts, analyze financial variances, and support informed decision-making. You will also assist with validating billing progress, providing cost inputs for lender draw submissions, and supporting financial processes throughout the full project lifecycle—from project startup through completion. What You Bring You bring a degree in Accounting or Finance along with approximately 3–7 years of experience in construction or project accounting. You have a strong understanding of job cost accounting, WIP reporting, and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition. Experience working with construction ERP systems is highly valued. You are analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where you collaborate with both finance and operational teams. You communicate financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders and take pride in maintaining strong financial discipline across projects. CPA candidacy is considered an asset. What We Offer Marcon is committed to building an inclusive, inspired, and high-performance team culture where our Core Values of Safety, Integrity, Teamwork, Passion, and Excellence guide how we show up every day. As part of our Corporate Services team, you will be joining a growing real estate and construction organization that offers competitive compensation, extended health and dental benefits, RRSP matching, paid vacation and statutory holidays, and opportunities for long-term professional development. We value accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and we invest in people who take pride in delivering disciplined financial outcomes that support our projects and communities.
