Construction Jobs : Construction CFO - Commercial General Contractor - Chicago, IL

We are currently seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for a commercial general contractor in Chicago, IL. The employer is an established GC/CM firm with a great reputation that performs commercial office, school, healthcare and multifamily construction in the region. They have an unexpected early retirement which is creating this executive need, and hiring can take place immediately or over the next several months depending upon the candidate being considered. The role will oversee all financial and accounting operations, and report to the president. We seek someone with a stable job history in construction who has good communication and people skills, and who enjoys mentoring and leading teams. Any construction industry background is acceptable (GC, CM, Specialty, Heavy, etc.). Although we prefer an experienced CFO financial executive, we are willing to consider an up-and-comer (Controller) with solid financial experience in construction who is ready to take his or her career to the next level. Local experience or networks are not necessary since the firm is seeking primarily leadership skills. We are therefore open to relocating someone.
