  • Maintain accurate payroll records and supporting documentation
  • Partner with accounting and HR teams to support payroll reporting and audits
  • Utilize payroll systems such as Miter (or similar platforms like Paychex)
  • Work within a Sage Intacct environment for accounting and reporting integration
  • Assist HR with onboarding, background checks, and related administrative tasks during extended coverage period

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of payroll experience in a construction or project-based environment
  • Strong experience processing union payroll required
  • Proven experience with prevailing wage compliance required
  • Experience calculating and managing fringe benefits required
  • Proficiency with payroll systems such as Miter, Paychex, or similar platforms
  • Experience working within ERP systems such as Sage Intacct preferred
  • Strong Excel skills and ability to manage calculations and reporting
  • High attention to detail with ability to manage weekly deadlines
  • Experience working in high-volume, paper-timesheet environments
  • Strong understanding of union contracts, wage determinations, and payroll compliance

Soft Skills:

Highly detail-oriented with strong time management skills. The ideal candidate is approachable, team-oriented, and able to communicate effectively across departments while maintaining accuracy under tight weekly deadlines.
