About the Opportunity

Our client is a rapidly growing fiber infrastructure company building new fiber routes into major data centers throughout the Columbus market.

The role manages all vendor billing, AP workflows, and onboarding tied to fiber deployment projects across the Columbus area.

Responsibilities

Process all vendor and subcontractor invoices tied to fiber construction projects.

Review invoice accuracy for labor, materials, subcontractor work, and change orders.

Work closely with construction managers and field teams to reconcile job costs and confirm work completed in the field.

Manage end-to-end vendor onboarding, including collecting W-9s, COIs, banking information, and compliance documentation.

Maintain organized and up-to-date vendor files for all active projects.

Communicate with vendors to resolve discrepancies or request missing information.

Assist with month-end close, cost tracking, and reporting for fiber deployment into data centers.

Required Qualifications

Must have direct construction industry experience supporting Accounts Payable. Candidates without construction AP experience will not be considered.

Experience processing high-volume construction invoices and working with job-costing or project-based billing.

Ability to collaborate closely with field operations, project managers, and procurement teams.

Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills.

Proficiency with Excel and comfort navigating ERP or accounting systems.

Ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced, construction-driven environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Accounts Payable experience in telecom, fiber-optic construction, or utility infrastructure is a major plus.

Familiarity with underground fiber builds, aerial construction, or low-voltage/telecom contractor billing.

Knowledge of lien releases, COIs, three-way matching, and construction compliance workflows.

Experience with NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, or construction-focused ERP tools.

Work Environment

Supports construction operations across the Columbus market, including data-center builds.

Fast-paced, project-driven environment with frequent communication across construction, engineering, and field teams.

Contract-to-hire role with on-site or hybrid expectations depending on client needs.

Candidates must be located in or near the Columbus area.
