Senior Accountant

CST Utilities is a growing provider of underground infrastructure construction services, including excavation, directional drilling, and related services supporting water, sewer, natural gas, electric distribution, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Backed by private equity investors, CST is executing an active growth strategy through both organic investment and strategic acquisitions. As the platform continues to scale, we are building a high-performing finance and accounting organization capable of supporting increasingly complex operations, acquisitions, and future growth.

CST Utilities is seeking a Senior Accountant to play a key role within the company’s accounting and finance organization. This is a hands-on position with broad exposure across the business and an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of accounting processes across a growing, multi-entity platform.

The Senior Accountant will support and increasingly lead core accounting activities, including month-end close, financial reporting, project and job-cost accounting, fixed assets and heavy equipment accounting, balance sheet management, and operational accounting. The position will work closely with finance leadership, operations, project management, and other functional leaders across the organization.

This role also offers unique exposure to the full lifecycle of a private equity-backed business, including buy-side acquisitions, acquisition integration, platform growth initiatives, and ultimately sell-side transaction readiness and support. As CST continues to acquire and integrate businesses, the Senior Accountant will have the opportunity to support accounting and systems integration, standardization of processes and controls, and consolidation of newly acquired operations into the broader CST platform.

For a high-performing individual, this role provides significant opportunity to expand responsibilities, develop leadership experience, and help shape the accounting function as the company continues to grow.
