Here is a more engaging, candidate-focused version that highlights impact, growth, and work environment — while keeping the core requirements intact.


Accounts Payable Specialist

Build your AP career with a nationally recognized industry leader

Join a company that powers some of the most impactful infrastructure projects in the country — from renewable energy farms to large-scale transmission and commercial construction. Consistently ranked among the Top 5 Specialty Electrical Construction Firms by Engineering News-Record, we are known for innovation, scale, and excellence — and our accounting team plays a critical role in making it all happen.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume AP environment and enjoy collaborating across teams to keep operations running smoothly, this is an opportunity to grow your expertise and make a visible impact.


What You’ll Do

As an AP Specialist, you’ll take ownership of full-cycle accounts payable in a high-volume, process-driven environment while partnering closely with internal teams and vendors.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Manage full-cycle, high-volume accounts payable, including 2-way and 3-way matching

  • Process invoices through an automated AP workflow and ensure proper approvals for non-PO invoices

  • Ensure accurate, timely vendor payments and proactively resolve discrepancies

  • Reconcile vendor statements and research invoice or payment issues

  • Process and audit employee expense reports

  • Apply and validate sales and use tax when applicable

  • Serve as a responsive point of contact for vendor and internal inquiries

  • Support internal and external audit activities

  • Maintain clear, up-to-date process documentation

  • Contribute to continuous process improvement and cross-team collaboration

This role is performed onsite in a company-designated office or field location.


What You Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle accounts payable experience in a high-volume environment

  • Strong experience with 2-way and 3-way matching and vendor reconciliations

  • Comfort working with spreadsheets and large data sets

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (especially Excel) and ERP systems

  • High school diploma or GED required; Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business, or related field preferred

  • Construction industry experience is a plus


Skills That Set You Apart

  • Strong understanding of AP systems and accounting workflows

  • Exceptional accuracy and attention to detail

  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple deadlines

  • Clear communicator who collaborates effectively across teams

  • Problem-solver who takes initiative to resolve issues quickly

  • Professional discretion when handling confidential information


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work for a top-ranked national construction leader involved in major infrastructure and renewable energy projects

  • Be part of a high-impact accounting function that supports complex, large-scale operations

  • Collaborative environment where AP is valued as a key business partner

  • Opportunity to sharpen your technical skills and grow within a stable, established organization
