Job Description
Construction AR at volume requires someone who knows the billing cycle before the invoice goes out, not just after payment is overdue.
A pipeline contractor is hiring an AR Specialist to support a growing portfolio of approximately 50 active California construction projects. This is a newly created role — the team's project load has grown and the work needs a dedicated seat.
You'll own the billing cycle from progress billing through collections, work directly with project managers to keep documentation clean, and operate remotely with occasional in-person team events in Corona — typically no more than four times a year.
If you know construction AR and you want to join a stable, tenured team that's growing, this is worth a look.
What you'll own
- Prepare and process progress billings, AIA billing, and retention billing across an active project portfolio
- Manage lien releases and preliminary notices in compliance with California construction lien law
- Apply customer payments
- Follow up with customers on outstanding balances and past-due accounts
- Coordinate with project managers to resolve billing gaps, documentation issues, and change orders
- Monitor the AR inbox and respond to inquiries
What you bring
- 1–2 years of AR, billing, or accounting experience — construction or project-based environment a strong plus
- Familiarity with progress billing, AIA billing, and lien releases
- Proficiency in Excel; pivot tables and lookups a plus
- Strong follow-through on collections — comfortable making calls and tracking responses
Why this one is worth a look
- Up to $31/hour depending on experience
- Newly created role on a growing team — you're being added because the work is there, not backfilling a problem
- Remote with genuine flexibility — in-person events in Corona roughly four times a year
- Average team tenure of 10+ years — you're joining people who know the industry and know the company
- Stable, connected accounting team that cross-trains and covers each other
- Reports to both the Controller and an AR Supervisor — visible from day one with real support above you
