Position Summary:
We are looking for an FP&A Analyst to join our Finance team to analyze project, shop and overhead data, and create/develop clear budgets, forecasts and decisions. You will work closely with the Operations, Project Management, Equipment/Shop Departments, as well as department leaders, and you will drive key reporting on project cost, equipment economics and overhead cost.
Reports to: FP&A Manager / Controller · Location: Pittsburgh, PA · Type: Full-time Office position
Key responsibilities:
Budgeting, forecasting and reporting
Assist in the preparation of the annual budget, with a focus on the overhead (OH) departments (Pursuit, Shop and G&A/support functions); maintain rolling forecasts with Operations and department leaders.
Prepare monthly management reporting: P&L, budget vs. actual forecast vs. actual, with clear variance explanations.
Support the month-end close process by reviewing results, accruals and cost allocations for accuracy, and assist in the GL coding of Accounts Payable invoices.
Maintain and run the overhead allocation model to projects, divisions and cost centers; review allocation bases and rates.
Develop KPI’s and dashboards for leadership for revenue, margin, backlog, cash and OH as % of revenue; recommend cost-control actions.
Support ad-hoc analysis (i.e.): bid economics, pricing, capital requests and business cases.
Use AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT/Claude) and automation (Power Query, Power BI, macros/scripts) to speed up analysis, variance commentary and report preparation; automate recurring reports and data pulls from Vista and other systems, replacing manual processes with repeatable workflows while maintaining data quality and controls.
Shop and equipment P&L
Take ownership of the Shop / Equipment P&L: revenue from equipment charged to jobs vs. ownership and operating costs (depreciation, repairs, fuel, insurance, shop labor).
Perform equipment rate analysis: build and review internal rates, compare them to actual cost and market/rental rates, and recommend updates.
Produce utilization reports by unit and category (hours billed vs. available) and identify idle or under-used equipment.
Support “buy versus lease versus rent” decisions and fleet replacement planning.
Required qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Economics or a related field.
3+ years’ experience in FP&A, cost accounting or financial analysis; construction or project-based industry strongly preferred.
General familiarity with the construction process: project lifecycle, job costing, cost codes and phases, WIP and percent-complete revenue.
Understanding of equipment cost drivers (ownership vs. operating cost, internal rates, utilization).
Prior experience with budgeting and overhead / indirect cost allocation.
Advanced Excel (lookups, pivot tables, modeling); comfortable working with large data sets.
Preferred qualifications
Vista ERP (Trimble Viewpoint Vista) knowledge is a strong advantage: Job Cost, Equipment, GL and reporting modules.
Experience with BI / reporting tools (Power BI, SQL, Crystal Reports or similar).
Hands-on use of AI tools and automation (Power Query, macros, Python or similar) in finance work.
Experience building equipment rate studies or shop P&L reporting.
