Payroll Manager

Salary: $85,000 – $100,000
Location: Indianapolis, IN 46218

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This opportunity is with a well‑established mechanical contracting and construction organization that supports a skilled, unionized workforce. The company is known for long‑term projects, operational stability, and a strong commitment to accuracy and compliance within its payroll operations.

The Payroll Manager will serve as the go‑to expert for payroll, overseeing union and non‑union payroll processes and ensuring compliance across multiple labor agreements. This role offers ownership, visibility, and the chance to bring structure and consistency to a critical function of the business.

• Stable, respected organization within the construction and mechanical contracting space
• 
  
• Fully on‑site role with strong cross‑functional collaboration
•
