Project Accountant

Gallant is a professional services organization focused on commercial construction project management and facility repair and maintenance. That is what we do, but that is not who we are or why we exist. We exist to help people achieve their vision. Others’ success is our success. We care about the development of people. We operate with a personal and professional growth mindset.

We like doing the work. We care about relationships.

When you think of the things that will truly matter the most when you are old and gray, those are the things that we focus on here ving others. Doing the right thing. Finding a way. It’s an attitude. That is who we are and that is the type of person we want to work with. We care about relationships. We are not typical.
