Remote Controller – Full‑Cycle Accounting Leader for Renewable Energy Exploration Division (U.S. & Canada)

About Workwarp – Pioneering Sustainable Energy Solutions

Workwarp is a rapidly expanding force in the renewable energy arena, dedicated to reshaping how large‑scale institutions heat and cool their facilities. Our core focus lies in geothermal technology—a clean, reliable, and cost‑effective means of reducing greenhouse‑gas emissions across schools, hospitals, government complexes, and other institutional buildings. By leveraging cutting‑edge geological science and innovative engineering, we empower our clients to transition toward carbon‑neutral operations while delivering measurable financial savings.

Founded by a team of visionary entrepreneurs and seasoned engineers, Workwarp has cultivated a culture of collaboration, daring experimentation, and unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship. Our portfolio now spans the United States and Canada, with dozens of successful installations and an expanding pipeline of exploration projects that promise to unlock new geothermal resources for decades to come.

Why This Role Matters – The Strategic Impact of a Remote Controller

As the financial steward of our Exploration Division, you will be at the heart of the organization’s growth engine. Your expertise will shape budgeting decisions, guide capital allocation, and ensure the financial integrity of projects that directly influence the world’s transition to renewable energy. Working fully remote, you’ll partner closely with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), senior engineers, project managers, and external stakeholders—providing the clarity and insight necessary to drive profitable, sustainable expansion across two continents.

Beyond the traditional duties of a controller, this position offers the rare opportunity to blend rigorous financial discipline with the excitement of pioneering clean‑energy ventures. You will help our teams evaluate new geothermal sites, assess the financial viability of each development, and ultimately contribute to a future where clean heating and cooling is the norm rather than the exception.

You will manage an accounting assistant, guide junior staff, and act as the primary liaison for auditors, lenders, and external partners. The role is fully remote, requiring minimal travel (primarily for occasional on‑site visits or audit coordination), enabling you to balance professional ambition with personal flexibility.
