Cost Accounting Clerk (EBS, EGBS, AMP Divisions)
Position Summary
If you love accounting but get bored doing the same thing every day, welcome to your dream job.
At EDiS, our Department Cost Accounting Clerk supports three of our most dynamic divisions: EDiS Building Systems (EBS), EDiS General Building Services (EGBS), and Advanced Modeling Precision (AMP).

You’ll work closely with department heads, subcontractors, clients, and internal partners to keep the numbers clean, the records accurate, and the work moving forward.
