Introduction

At Senneca, we embrace the entrepreneurial spirit of the innovators that created our brands from traffic doors, to cold storage doors to fiberglass doors and beyond. We are committed to exceeding our customers’ expectations and to provide doors that offer safety and protection to our customers’ most important assets…people, products, capital investments and processes.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Accountant to join our finance team in a hands‑on role supporting cost accounting and core financial operations within a manufacturing environment. This position is ideal for an accountant with a solid foundation in manufacturing or industrial accounting who is looking to deepen their experience, expand their skill set, and grow within a stable organization.

This position is ideal for an early‑career accounting professional with 1–3 years of experience who is looking to strengthen their foundation in manufacturing accounting, develop technical expertise, and grow within a stable, expanding organization. This is an execution‑focused role centered on cost analysis, reporting, and process improvement — not high‑level strategy or people management.
