- Maintain project financial documentation, including cost databases, change order logs, budget revisions, lien waiver records, and financial models, keeping files current, organized, and audit ready.
- Identify opportunities to improve job costing, reporting, and financial workflows; participate in reviews and help implement best practices to improve accuracy, efficiency, and timeliness.
- Assist with project close-out activities, including final cost reconciliations, profitability analysis, and lessons-learned documentation.
- Perform other assigned duties and special projects supporting the accounting and finance team, project execution, and the company.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying

- It managed over 9 million square feet and 3 gigawatts since 2020.
- Divcon launched Grid-to-Chip and Divcon Pulse for AI cooling and energy optimization.
What critics are saying
- Rapid hiring toward 500 employees by year-end 2026 invites execution failures.
- Divcon's GSA-backed expansion depends on hyperscale data-center capex continuing into 2027.
- A single control-system outage at a flagship customer would damage credibility immediately.
What makes Divcon unique
- Divcon pairs BMS, EPMS, DCIM, and 24/7 support for zero-downtime data centers.
- Goldman Sachs Alternatives recapitalized Divcon in February 2024, funding product expansion.
- Tom Ray joined the board August 20, 2026, adding CoreSite and EdgeCore experience.
