Project Accountant

Job Overview

Join us as we make history at the Hanford Vit Plant, known as the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. We are designing and building a one-of-a-kind facility that will turn radioactive and chemical waste left over from World War II and Cold War plutonium production into a form safe for disposal. Your efforts will help protect the nearby Columbia River and the communities, salmon, and wildlife along its shorelines throughout the Northwest.

Sitting at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers near two mountain ranges, our community provides access to year-round outdoor recreation, 300 days of sun a year, more than 200 wineries within a 50-mile radius, and the amenities of large cities just a three-hour drive (or short flight) to Seattle and Portland.

Performs a variety of accounting tasks applying technical accounting and financial practices and concepts beyond the mere adherence to detailed procedures and instructions. Tasks provide direct exposure to accounting, financial or tax problems and requirements, and provide familiarization with corporate systems and procedures. Occasionally, assignments call for use of judgment and resourcefulness to resolve problems where solutions are not obvious.
