Job Overview:

Help shape the finances behind a growing manufacturing operation. Ingersoll Rand is seeking a Plant Controller for its Junction City, Oregon site. As a trusted partner to plant leadership and the production team, you'll turn financial insight and firsthand operational knowledge into greater cost efficiency, revenue growth, stronger margins, and improved net working capital. With demand from the data center market driving plans for increased production and workforce growth, Junction City is entering an exciting new chapter. You'll help set its financial direction, give leaders clearer visibility into performance, and build the financial discipline needed to scale.

Work alongside production leaders on the plant floor to connect daily decisions with financial results. You'll investigate production and purchase price variances, labor and overhead efficiency, and inventory turns while bringing clarity to cost rollups, inventory valuation, reserves, and the metrics that matter most to the plant. Bring your accounting and finance expertise, curiosity, and business judgment to a role where the numbers lead to action. You'll identify trends, solve root causes, strengthen analytics, and manage plant accounting while helping leaders improve performance and plan for growth.

Ready for your next step? You'll lead a small site-based team, with a planned transition and direct knowledge transfer to help you take ownership of daily and weekly responsibilities within approximately three to six months. Prior Plant Controller experience is not required. An Assistant Controller, Senior Cost Accountant, Cost Accounting Manager, or similar professional with hands-on manufacturing experience and leadership potential could thrive here.

• ERP Process Improvement: Improve Epicor configurations and automation by strengthening internal processes and establishing standard work.
• Forecasting and Budgeting: Partner with finance and business stakeholders to deliver timely, accurate forecasts and assess P&L and balance sheet risks and opportunities. Forecast bookings, revenue growth, production variances, overhead spending, and capital investments.
• CSS and Corporate Partnership: Respond promptly to requests from shared financial services, corporate FP&A, and CSS leadership to support business performance.
• Operational Business Partnership: Partner with plant and cross-functional leaders to provide analysis and decision support that advances annual operating plan targets. Participate in and lead IRX (Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence) processes that support tactical and strategic objectives.
• Team Leadership and Development: Align the team around corporate objectives, develop talent, and build the coverage needed for business continuity. Coach and mentor direct and indirect reports through succession planning, development plans, and the removal of barriers to engagement and progress.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related business concentration.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in accounting, finance, controllership, or cost-accounting
• 3+ years experience with Excel using complex formulas, PivotTables, data analysis, reconciliations, and / or financial modeling.
• 2+ years of demonstrated ability analyzing financial performance, identifying root causes, and translating findings into actionable recommendations.
• 2+ years experience with ERP systems such as Epicor or something similar

Core Competencies

• Manufacturing Cost Accounting: Working knowledge of manufacturing cost accounting, including standard costs and cost rollups, inventory reserves and valuation, production variances, purchase price variance, labor and overhead efficiency, and inventory turns.
