About Multifamily MEP, Inc.

Multifamily MEP, Inc. is a vertically integrated, execution-focused MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) firm purpose-built for the multifamily construction sector. We provide in-house engineering, BIM modeling, construction, and long-term service across all MEP trades—including fire sprinkler and low voltage.

We are redefining MEP delivery through standardization, robotics, and workforce ownership, powered by a field-first culture. With 11 regional offices planned and $1B+ in project pipeline, we are scaling quickly—and building a finance function to match.

As part of our long-term, founder-controlled, we are deeply committed to capital discipline and shared value creation. We're seeking a Controller to lead and mature our financial operations with precision, accountability, and long-term stewardship.

The Opportunity

The Controller will be responsible for managing all day-to-day accounting operations—including job costing, financial reporting, compliance, and controls—across a multi-entity, multi-office structure. Reporting to the CFO, you'll play a vital role in supporting national expansion, ensuring GAAP-compliant reporting, and building scalable systems that empower data-driven construction execution.

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented, construction-savvy accounting professional ready to take ownership of a fast-moving, high-growth operation.
