This respected, privately owned Australian construction business has earned a strong national name through decades of delivering major projects. With new leadership recently in place, it's actively investing in technology, sustainability and its people — a business clearly on the front foot, offering the stability, genuine career progression and focus on employee wellbeing that can be hard to come by.
An excellent new opportunity has arisen for a Payroll Manager to take full ownership of the payroll function for a large, project-based national workforce. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this standalone role will suit an experienced payroll professional who values autonomy and wants to run things their way, with support on hand across the broader finance team.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Running end-to-end payroll across weekly and monthly wages/EBA and monthly staff, in line with legislation, awards, EBAs and company policy
- Interpreting and applying multiple enterprise agreements and modern awards across several states
- Processing payroll cost journals and reconciling payroll, superannuation, tax and clearing accounts
- Ensuring compliance with PAYG, payroll tax, superannuation guarantee and leave entitlements
- Managing onboarding, terminations and accurate records across the employee lifecycle
- Administering employee deductions, salary packaging, novated leases and related payments
- Completing month-end reporting, Single Touch Payroll and end-of-year processing
- Acting as the key contact for payroll queries and driving continuous improvement across the function
To be considered, you'll be an experienced payroll professional with 9+ years, having run end-to-end payroll independently and confident owning the function from start to finish. You bring strong knowledge of multi-state payroll, award and EBA interpretation and Australian payroll compliance. You're happy working autonomously but value being part of a supportive finance team.
