Our client is a rapidly growing construction and services organisation expanding through both organic growth and acquisition.
They are seeking an experienced Employment Hero specialist to review a partially completed implementation, optimise payroll and HR processes, strengthen governance, and establish scalable workflows that support future growth.
The Organisation has a Payroll Officer and an Outsourced Payroll provider, so this role is not about transacting payroll it is the HRIS interaction and the broader HRIS implementation.
The Challenge
Several payroll runs every week across four employing entities
Multiple EBAs 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
Stable, repeatable payroll with significantly less manual intervention
Accurate EBA rule configuration and faster payroll turnaround
Streamlined onboarding and robust offboarding
Stronger access controls, explicit approval paths, and reduced risk
