About the Role

A well-established and growing construction business is looking for an  experienced Payroll Specialist  to join its finance team. The role will initially focus on payroll processing  during a system implementation and automation phase. Over time, the payroll process will become more streamlined, making this a great opportunity to be part of an important transformation.

With a workforce of  100+ employees across NSW and QLD,  under complex  EBA agreements, attention to detail and a strong understanding of  award interpretation  are essential. Experience with  construction awards or similarly complex EBAs  will be highly valuable.

Key Responsibilities:

• Process weekly payroll, including manual calculations for  redundancies, entitlements, and resignations.
• Ensure compliance with  EBA conditions, overtime, RDOs, penalties, and allowances.
• Export payroll data from  Deputy to MYOB  and complete pay runs.
• Work within  a changing payroll environment, as systems and processes are improved and automated.
• Maintain payroll records and reconciliations, ensuring accuracy in superannuation and payments.
• Communicate with  site managers and employees  to resolve payroll queries.
• Assist with  end-of-financial-year payroll updates, including tax table and EBA increases.

What We’re Looking For:

• End-to-end payroll experience  (100-150 employees preferred).
• Construction, union, or complex EBA payroll exposure  (highly regarded).
• Strong  Excel & Google Sheets  skills (pivot tables a plus).
• High level of  adaptability, patience, and resilience  to navigate the system implementation phase.
• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving ability.
• Ability to work  autonomously, meet deadlines, and handle competing priorities.
• A  resilient communicator  who can provide professional payroll support to employees.

What We're Offering:

• Be part of an exciting payroll transformation —help shape new processes.
• Supportive, vibrant finance team  in a collaborative open-plan office.
• Work-life balance  with flexible start and finish times.
• Direct impact —not just a cog in the machine, but an opportunity to  own your function.
• Social culture  with monthly team events, office lunches, and end-of-year celebrations.
• Long-term stability  in a growing business with opportunities for professional development.
