With a large and diverse workforce, the business offers a fast-paced, hands-on environment where collaboration, accuracy and a commitment to service are highly valued.

About the Role

Reporting to the People & Culture Manager, you will be responsible for delivering accurate and compliant payroll processing, ensuring employee records, time and attendance data, and payroll transactions are maintained to a high standard.

Working closely with operational leaders, HR and Finance, you will play an important role in ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time, while providing responsive support and resolving payroll queries.

  • Managing new employee setups, payroll adjustments, deductions and termination payments.
  • Validating labour hire hours and supplier invoices.
  • Preparing superannuation payments and maintaining accurate payroll and personnel records.
  • Responding to employee payroll queries and resolving discrepancies in a timely manner.
  • Partnering with operational leaders to ensure accurate timekeeping and overtime approvals.
  • Supporting payroll reporting, compliance and continuous improvement initiatives.
About You

You will be an experienced Payroll Officer who enjoys working in a busy, operationally focused environment and takes pride in delivering accurate, timely outcomes.

You bring strong attention to detail, sound knowledge of payroll legislation and the confidence to work with a range of stakeholders to resolve issues and meet competing deadlines.

To be successful, you will demonstrate:
  • Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, Enterprise Agreements and relevant employment conditions.
  • Ideally experience using Kronos, ADP and SAP.
  • Demonstrated experience managing time and attendance, payroll adjustments, leave entitlements and termination payments.
  • Excellent attention to detail, organisational skills and the ability to meet strict payroll deadlines.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with a customer-focused approach.
  • A proactive, flexible and collaborative working style.
Experience supporting payroll within a large, complex or operationally focused workforce will be highly regarded.
