    • Work closely with employees, field teams, and accounting leadership

    • Opportunity to take ownership of a critical payroll function

    • Stable environment with a collaborative team

    • Competitive compensation and benefits package

    • Great opportunity for someone with construction or mechanical payroll experience

    • Ensure proper calculation of wages, deductions, overtime, and fringe benefits

    • Prepare and submit union reports and benefit payments

    • Handle certified payroll and prevailing wage requirements as applicable

    • Reconcile payroll and related general ledger accounts

    • Maintain accurate employee payroll records and resolve payroll discrepancies

    • Work closely with HR, accounting, and field operations to ensure payroll accuracy

    • Assist with payroll audits, reporting, and year-end processes

    • Stay current on changes to union agreements, wage rates, and applicable payroll regulations


    What We're Looking For:



    • 3+ years of hands-on payroll experience

    • Union payroll experience is highly required

    • Construction, mechanical, or other skilled-trades industry experience strongly preferred

    • Experience with certified payroll and/or prevailing wage requirements is a must

    • Strong understanding of payroll compliance, deductions, overtime, and fringe benefits

    • Experience with payroll/ERP systems

    • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills

    • Ability to manage sensitive information with a high level of confidentiality

    • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with employees and internal teams


    Competitive salary + benefits


    If you have strong union payroll experience and are looking for an opportunity with an established organization, I'd love to connect.
