SkyWater is exclusively partnering with a leading construction and infrastructure company to find a full-time, onsite Project Controller based in the Twin Cities. Ideally, we are looking for candidates already local to Minnesota, but we are also open to candidates from outside the area who are motivated and ready to relocate.
In this role, you will be the key finance partner for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects.

You will also mentor team members, improve processes, and play an important role in keeping projects running smoothly.
Skywater has partnered with this long-standing client for years, successfully placing more than 20 people across the business. We are now helping them find a Director of Finance Operations to lead plant-level financial management. This role combines strategic oversight with hands-on accounting and operational finance. You will drive month-end close, variance analysis, forecasting, and AOP while partnering closely with plant operations to ensure financial discipline, cost optimization, and operational efficiency.
As the company grows, this role will evolve. You will pivot from hands-on accounting to broader oversight and leadership while still staying connected to the day-to-day financial operations.
Local candidates in Minnesota will only be considered.
