Full Time Position Overview The Finance Analyst position is an operational finance role focused on supporting construction projects across finance and operations functions. Each project at Kiewit operates like a small business, with this role concentrating on critical tasks such as cost control, payroll, accounts payable/receivable, human capital management, and compliance. This role will develop expertise in executing processes and utilizing tools related to various cost and revenue components, including labor, construction equipment, materials, and subcontracts.

We hire only the most driven people and we offer them diverse career opportunities, strong leadership and mentorship, rewarding, collaborative work, and responsibility they won't find just anywhere.
