Job description

Construction Group | Niagara Falls, ON

$100,000 - $125,000 base + 10% bonus + pension + car allowance

As Controller, you will own accounting and financial reporting for a multi-site Construction group and act as a hands-on finance leader who is visible, trusted, and engaged with the business.

This role is built for someone who enjoys being out in the operation , not just reviewing results after the fact.

Top 3 Reasons to Join

1) You’ll Be a True Business Partner - Not a Back-Office Accountant

This role is built for someone who wants to be in the business , not reacting after the fact.

You’ll work closely with operational leaders, spend time on-site, and influence decisions that impact real projects, real teams, and real infrastructure. Your work will be visible, valued, and used.

2) Leadership, Stability, and Long-Term Thinking

This is a privately held, multi-generational organization that values stability, relationships, and doing things properly.

There’s no quarterly earnings pressure, no constant restructuring, and no fire-drill culture. Leaders invest in people who want to grow, stay, and build credibility over time.

If you’re looking for a place where strong performance leads to trust and opportunity ... this is it.

3) A Well-Rounded Total Rewards Package (That’s Often Missed in This Market)

Beyond a competitive base salary, this role includes :

  • 10% incentive bonus (clearly defined and achievable)
  • Employer-funded pension (6% after one year - no employee contribution required)
  • ~$11,000 annual car allowance , paid in cash
  • Day-1 health benefits
  • A realistic hybrid model after onboarding

Taken together, this is a material step up in overall value for the right candidate.

  • Your team is confident, supported, and delivering strong work
  • You understand the construction business well enough to challenge assumptions
  • Reporting is accurate, timely, and decision-ready

  • This is not a desk-only or remote-first role.
  • Assets (Nice to Have)

  • Industry background is less important than leadership mindset and comfort being in the field .

  • Annual incentive bonus : 10%
  • Employer-funded pension : 6% after one year

  • Wants visibility, trust, and long-term stability
