We're on the lookout for an exceptional Project Controller to join the Hughes Marino Orange County team, and we'd love to hear from you. This is an excellent opportunity to play a critical financial role in the success of high-profile commercial construction projects.

This role will provide valuable oversight of project budgets and financial health, working alongside top project managers and executives, and supporting clients in achieving well-run, cost-efficient projects. They also appreciate the balance of independent work and strong team support that defines our culture.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits, employee perks, and a long-term career opportunity as a valued member of the Hughes Marino team.

Essential Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with project managers to develop, manage, and maintain project budgets and forecasts across multiple, concurrent construction projects.
  • Track and review project costs, change orders, and invoices for accuracy and alignment with contracts.
  • Monitor financial performance of active projects and proactively flag variances or cost concerns.
  • Support the preparation of monthly financial reports and client-facing budget updates.
  • Manage financial close-out processes, including reconciliations, final reporting, and documentation.
  • Review leases and work letters for financial terms related to construction and reimbursement.
  • Maintain proposal and contract logs and assist in the management of funding draw requests and Tenant Improvement allowance tracking.
  • Coordinate with project managers and clients to support monthly invoicing, cash flow management, and client requests.
  • Compensation ranges from $80,000-$110,000 depending on skills, experience and qualifications. This range includes based salary only and is not reflective of total compensation package. The range is a good faith estimate and Hughes Marino reserves the right to make adjustments based on candidate's work experience, location and skills.

Desired Skills and Experience

  • Strong financial acumen and understanding of project budgeting, cost tracking, and reporting.
  • Familiarity with commercial construction project workflows and vendor invoicing processes.
  • Experience working with project management software, Excel, and financial tracking tools.
  • Highly organized and capable of managing multiple financial workstreams at once.
  • Able to communicate clearly and effectively with internal teams and client stakeholders.
  • Previous experience supporting or overseeing construction budgets is preferred.
  • Experience with lease terms and Tenant Improvement allowance tracking is a plus.

    • Qualifications

  • Must be a local candidate and will be based out of our beautiful Orange County office if selected.
  • This position involves a combination of in-office and occasional onsite work.
  • Bachelor's degree in finance, construction management, accounting, or a related field preferred.
  • 3–7 years of relevant experience in a financial, project controls, or construction administration role.
  • Excellent communication skills and a polished, professional presence.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with financial management systems.
