Senior Accountant

Benchmark Utility Services is a premier design-build and underground utility construction firm with over 500 completed projects and a heavy focus on mission-critical infrastructure. We operate with high standards across every function — including how we manage our financial records and reporting. Our accounting team is lean, capable, and operates at a level of precision that matches the complexity of our project-based business.

The Role
