We have a global leader client  transforming airports and transportation hubs around the world, from award-winning terminals in New York to landmark redevelopment projects across the U.S. and abroad. You’ll be part of a mission-driven team that’s reshaping how people move, connect, and experience travel — and you’ll play a key role in keeping the financial engine behind it all running smoothly.

\We’re looking for a Project Accountant to join our client's growing finance team. You’ll work across an exciting portfolio of large-scale infrastructure assets, ensuring timely, accurate, and insightful financial reporting. This is a hands-on, analytical role that combines technical accounting expertise with business partnership and problem-solving.

You’ll gain exposure to complex, global projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams — while also helping mentor junior accountants and contributing ideas that improve how we operate.

What You’ll Do

  • Own day-to-day accounting and month-end close activities for select assets and corporate entities
  • Prepare and review financial statements, reconciliations, and supporting schedules
  • Support financial reporting and FP&A teams with accurate data and analysis
  • Partner with business leaders across the network to resolve accounting questions and optimize processes
  • Lead or support site audits with external auditors
  • Provide mentorship and first-line oversight for more junior staff
  • Bring insight and initiative to weekly finance meetings — your ideas will be heard

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience (industry experience preferred; public accounting a plus)
  • Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP
  • CPA designation (or in progress)
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort with ERP systems (Microsoft Dynamics/Navision a plus)
  • A curious mindset — you don’t just report the numbers, you want to understand the “why” behind them
  • The ability to balance detail with big-picture thinking in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
  • Work on high-profile, globally recognized infrastructure projects that shape the way people travel
  • Join a growing, values-driven organization with a strong track record and long-term investment backing
  • Collaborate with a world-class team that combines global expertise with local impact
  • Enjoy career growth, mentorship, and visibility across a broad, international finance organization
  • Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and flexibility in where you work
