Job description
About the firm:

A 77yr old Cnd. Manufacturing firm. Specializing in construction service and customized work for the Cnd. marketplace.

Essential Tasks:

Maintain and analyze Cost Accounting System

  • Design, build, and maintain the cost accounting records, systems and processes— keeping current, accurate and reliable.
  • Update bill of material information as it changes to keep the costing accurate and reliable to current processes and costs
  • Implement supplier cost increases into the costing system
  • Evaluate production costs, overhead, labor, and inventory to identify inefficiencies and cost-saving opportunities, and prepare detailed reports comparing actual costs to standard

Maintain Pricing Structure and Systems

  • Maintain the pricing structure within the ERP system, keeping accurate records of changes to the costs and margins within the system
  • Update pricing pages for select products that are maintained outside the system
  • Provide custom pricing for items not maintained in the system for cost buildup and mark-ups for the products requested and configuration within the ERP system.

Inventory

  • Continuously look for ways to improve inventory processes and systems for accurate costing.

Be a Team Member

  • We're a small, high-trust team where everyone's contribution is visible and valued. When a colleague is away or the workload spikes, you'll step up — and you can count on the same in return. If that sounds like your kind of environment, you'll fit right in here.
