Construction Industry - Project Accountant Job - yay or nay?

Does anyone have or know of someone who is in construction accounting/project accounting? I have a job opportunity and I am not sure if this is the best move for me??

I have had a strong past work history of property accounting in commercial and the multifamily sectors but I have been offered a new opportunity as a project accountant with a construction company in Phoenix. Before I buy my first househack my goal has been to stay in the real estate industry with my career and learn as much as possible about all different real estate niches to figure out which one suites me the best. 

My hesitation with this job is that 1.) I have only been at my current job for 8 months = job hopper title

2.) after reading the job description this job seems somewhat confusing as I do not have experience in the construction industry???

3.) this is a growing company so I am hoping there will be more opportunity for learning and taking on more responsibility but I am not 100% this will be the case. The company is very small so not much research can be done online alone.

Also - on a side note: my goal is to buy my first house hack before April 14th. If Anyone has any insights on this job situation I would really appreciate it!
