If you are someone who enjoys working with numbers, maintaining accuracy across inventory and financial data, and being part of a fast-moving operational environment, this could be a great opportunity for you. Well-established, stable, and successful business in the manufacturing/lumber sector. Based in New Westminster.

Who – the Company:
This company has been in business for over 50 years and was built with an entrepreneurial spirit that allows employees to manage and grow their career with a hands-off approach. The company provides a strong benefits package and flexibility for people who are productive and good with time management. Employees tend to have very long tenures at this organization because they have a tight-knit team and leaders who enable staff to take initiative and develop new skills.

What – the Role:
Swim Recruiting is seeking a Costing & Inventory Specialist to join this manufacturing/lumber company. This role is focused on inventory costing, financial accuracy, and maintaining clean, reliable data across inventory and ERP systems. While the role sits within an operational team, the work itself is more accounting-driven, with responsibility for costing, invoice review, and supporting journal entries. The position also provides support to operations and logistics as needed.
Key Responsibilities:

• Calculate inventory costs, margins, and profitability across multiple files.
• Record inventory movements, production runs, and cost transfers within ERP and inventory systems.
• Support preparation of journal entries related to inventory and costing.
• Review and validate supplier and check invoices for accuracy (pricing, volumes, coding).
• Prepare invoices for processing by the AP team.
• Maintain accurate inventory records, file data, and supporting documentation.
• Investigate discrepancies between inventory and financial data and follow up as needed.
• Organize and manage documentation including invoices, delivery slips, customs paperwork, and production records.
• Support coordination of inventory movement and assist with logistics tasks when required.
• Communicate with internal teams and external partners to ensure accurate and timely information flow.

Who – the Candidate:
We’re looking for someone who is detail-oriented, comfortable working with numbers, and able to manage both accounting-related work and operational support in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience with inventory costing, cost tracking, or project/file-level accounting.
• Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals, including journal entries and cost validation.
• Experience working with ERP systems and managing data across multiple platforms.
• High attention to detail and accuracy in handling financial and inventory data.
• Comfortable reviewing invoices and understanding cost structures.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work with changing or unclear instructions.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently.
• Exposure to manufacturing, commodities, or supply chain environments is an asset.
• Experience with inventory systems such as LISA or Sage is an asset.

Where:
New Westminster, BC. The office location is close to shopping, cafés, and restaurants. Public transit stops within a 10–15-minute walk. Free employee parking is provided. This role follows a hybrid model with 3 days onsite and 2 days remote.

How Much:
$70,000–$75,000 base salary, with flexibility based on experience and skill set. Full benefits package included.
