Description

HRIS Technology Architect
Full-time  |  On-site  |  Senior / Lead  |  Construction & Services  |  Workday Environment
At Waldinger, we build the infrastructure that keeps communities running — and we want the systems powering our people to be just as strong. This is a rare seat at the table: you won’t maintain someone else’s architecture — you’ll shape it. If you’ve spent years mastering payroll systems and integrations and you’re ready to own a complex, enterprise-scale ecosystem, we built this role for you.
Workday experience is a strong plus. Whether you hold a Workday Pro Payroll certification or have hands-on exposure to Workday payroll and integrations, your platform knowledge will make an immediate impact here.
What You’ll Own
  • End-to-end payroll architecture: Design and validate integrated payroll solutions — data flows, calculations, compliance controls, and financial alignment — built to scale.
  • System optimization & configuration: Lead configuration, testing, and validation for complex payroll scenarios. Redesign workflows to improve reliability, speed, and visibility.
  • Senior escalation & issue resolution: Be the last line of defense for complex payroll and integration issues. Diagnose root causes across systems, protect compliance, and maintain continuity.
  • Mentorship & technical leadership: Grow analysts and technical teammates. Establish design patterns, documentation standards, and governance that outlast any single project.
  • Continuous improvement: Spot opportunities to cut manual effort, improve financial alignment, and bring in emerging technology that creates real organizational value.
What You Bring
  • Experience: 8–10+ years in HR technology, payroll systems, or enterprise / ERP platforms
  • Education: Bachelor’s in Information Systems, Computer Science, Accounting/Finance, or a related field — preferred
  • Certifications: CPP, Workday Pro Payroll, or equivalent HRIS / platform certification — preferred
  • Workday: Hands-on experience or meaningful exposure to Workday Payroll — a strong differentiator
Why Waldinger?
Waldinger has been a trusted name in construction and mechanical services for decades. Our teams build and maintain the systems that keep buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities running — and our HR technology team supports every one of those people.

You’ll have real ownership, work with a leadership team that values architecture over band-aids, and be part of an organization that takes long-term thinking seriously.
