Our client is a fast-growing construction and precast business with around 200 staff and approximately $300M in annual revenue.
Growth is being driven by hiring and acquisitions, and their payroll and HR systems haven't kept pace.
They moved to Employment Hero, but the original implementation team left before the platform was fully embedded.
The system is live, yet it is not delivering what it should.
Weekly payroll still depends on manual workarounds, and confidence in the platform is low.
This is your chance to walk into a partially successful implementation, work out what has gone wrong, and fix it properly.
The Challenge Three payroll runs every week across four employing entities, with a fifth on the way through acquisition Multiple EBAs (QLD, NSW, Hunter region and VIC), each with its own rules and allowances that need to be configured and automated Payroll data issues arising before it reaches the outsourced payroll provider, including inconsistent site processes, timesheet accuracy and manual amendments Onboarding and offboarding gaps, including employees remaining active or on payroll after departure Governance and security concerns, including user permissions and visibility of salary information What You'll Do Diagnose whether issues come from system configuration, process design, user behaviour, training or approval controls Configure and automate EBA and award rules, and optimise pay runs across all entities Streamline and document onboarding and offboarding,



and support a newly appointed HR / Office Coordinator to own them Review access profiles, permissions, approval pathways and segregation of duties Build workflow automation, self-service and manager approvals that people will use Lift stakeholder capability and system adoption Leave behind a scalable structure that supports continued acquisition-driven growth This is a hands-on and strategic assignment, not system administration.
What Success Looks Like Reliable, repeatable payroll with significantly less manual intervention Accurate EBA rule configuration and faster payroll turnaround Streamlined onboarding and robust offboarding Stronger access controls, clear approval paths and reduced risk About You Essential Deep Employment Hero expertise, including implementation and remediation or optimisation projects Experience in complex, multi-entity payroll environments EBA interpretation and configuration HRIS configuration and process improvement capability Strong stakeholder engagement skills Highly desirable Construction, manufacturing or other blue-collar workforce experience Acquisition integration experience Payroll transformation projects Governance and compliance expertise Why This Role Meaningful work with a visible before and after A business that has already invested in the technology and is committed to getting it right A growing, acquisitive organisation where your work will have lasting impact
