About the Role

We’re looking for a detail-driven Senior Payroll Officer who’s up for a challenge and ready to help steer the ship through a payroll transformation. The current system is manual, yes—but temporary.

  • Heavy data entry from tripsheets (yes, you’ll get familiar with them)
  • Reconcile timesheets from Kronos and resolve any EA/Award discrepancies with managers
  • Prepare and lodge Superannuation, PAYG, Workcover, and Payroll Tax reports
  • Action out-of-cycle payments, adjustments, leave cash outs, and bonuses
  • Final payroll transaction checks – you're the last line of defence


About You

  • Solid experience in high-volume payroll
  • Comfortable navigating complex Award/EA interpretation
  • High attention to detail and not afraid of a bit of data wrangling
  • Calm under pressure and a clear communicator with stakeholders

The Benefits

  • $90,000 + Super
  • 1–2 days WFH – flexibility once you’re settled
  • On-site parking
  • Nationally recognised business – and plenty of room to grow
