Why consider us?
SpawGlass is a Texas-based builder, with a wide-ranging project portfolio spanning the commercial and civil market sectors. Beyond our operations, we’ve established a culture of building people. We believe in developing and advancing our team members and have a longstanding practice of promoting from within. We’re deeply invested in giving back through community partnerships and initiatives. Our decisions and actions are guided by our core values and, one of the things that truly brings us together, is the sharing of our company’s profitability and ownership.
As our project accountant intern, you will provide direct support to project teams by managing subcontractor relationships, mitigating risk and compliance efforts, and tracking financial progress at each stage of the construction project life cycle. Every day we'll rely on you to demonstrate a customer service mindset, resolve compliance issues, support project teams with billing, and process subcontractor invoices and payments. To thrive in this critical role, you should be a team player and a problem-solver who would enjoy building relationships in the field.

- Notify project management if liens, claims, and notices have been issued against SpawGlass from subcontractors or suppliers and collect lien waivers when necessary prior to processing subcontractor payments
- Assist project teams with established budgets by completing the original coding of invoices (cost allocation) or correcting the original coding (cost reallocation) to ensure it is reported under the appropriate activity
- Provide monthly accounting close support by capturing all costs from the previous month, requesting invoices from vendors, and preparing and entering month-end accruals
