In this role, you will provide essential clerical and administrative support to cost management and internal controls activities, helping the team maintain accuracy, efficiency, and strong vendor relationships.

You will work closely with cross-functional partners, including Engineering, Operations, Business Management, IT, Accounts Payable, and the Integrated Supply Chain to process transactions, resolve issues, and contribute to month-end close. If you bring a process-improvement mindset and a foundational understanding of procurement or accounting, this position offers a hands-on opportunity to grow your skills within a large-scale energy organization.

  • Process work cycles, MR 11 transactions, and other procurement-related entries in SAP.
  • Support the Jira service desk by triaging requests and ensuring timely resolution.
  • Execute month-end close activities, including compiling financial reports for budget, variance, and cost tracking.
  • Resolve vendor inquiries and issues, maintaining professional and clear communication.
  • Collaborate with Accounts Payable, Engineering, Operations, IT, and Supply Chain teams to ensure seamless transaction flow.
  • Maintain strict compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls and internal procedures, and assist with special projects as assigned.

Required Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED.
  • 0–5 years of professional experience; 1–2 years in procurement, accounts payable, or an administrative finance function strongly preferred.
  • General understanding of procurement and accounting principles.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy in data entry and recordkeeping.
  • Process-improvement mindset with the ability to identify and suggest efficiency gains.
  • Proficiency with SAP is a plus.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate respectfully with peers, customers, and stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

Experience with SAP and familiarity with Jira service desk workflows are highly valued. A demonstrated ability to handle urgent requests calmly and prioritize competing tasks will set you apart.

Why Join Us

Our client offers a stable, 40-hour-per-week schedule with a standard 8 AM–5 PM shift, allowing you to maintain a predictable work-life rhythm. As a contingent worker, you will be eligible for the organization's Contingent Workforce Program and may participate in furlough schedules that align with select national holidays. This is an excellent opportunity to build your procurement and finance operations expertise within a collaborative, compliance-focused team.
