- Modern, clean, well-maintained plant environment with access to cutting-edge ERP systems (Made2Manage)

- Develop and maintain cost accounting systems and documentation across two manufacturing plants
- Analyze and reconcile inventory and cost data; compare standard vs. actual production costs as Cost Accountant
