Assistant Controller

Assistant Controller #0099
Scenic Southern Utah | Near National Parks – This is a Hybrid work opportunity

This is not a typical Assistant Controller role.

This is a high-visibility, business-facing finance position where you’ll work directly with operations, maintenance, and plant leadership to drive cost, performance, and decision-making across a growing mining and processing operation.

Why this role is different:

• You’ll own cost visibility across the plant (crushing, milling, flotation, leach, SX/EW)
• You’ll partner directly with operations to influence:
• • Production costs
  • Downtime impact
  • Continuous improvement initiatives
• You’ll have exposure to capital projects, asset tracking, and operational strategy
• You’re not buried in spreadsheets—you’re helping run the business

What they’re looking for:

• Strong GAAP + cost accounting foundation
• Experience in manufacturing, mining, or heavy industry
• Someone who wants to step into a more strategic, operational finance role

Required Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting
• Experience with cost accounting and inventory accounting
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting/ERP systems
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills

Preferred Education and Experience

• CPA or CPA candidate
• Experience in mining, manufacturing, or heavy industry
• Familiarity with:
• • Standard costing and variance analysis
  • Fixed asset accounting and capital project tracking
  • ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar)
• Experience supporting audits and internal controls

Supervisory Responsibilities

This position will provide functional oversight to accounting staff.

Why people take this role:

• Real impact + visibility (not just reporting numbers)
• Growth path toward Controller-level responsibility
• A chance to live/work in Scenic Southern Utah—national parks, wide-open space, and a lifestyle shift most people don’t get
