• Set up and maintain prevailing wage projects, classifications, rates, and compliance requirements in JD Edwards Oracle Enterprise One, eMars, and related systems.
• Process weekly and monthly payroll, payroll adjustments, labor corrections, and burden allocations accurately and on time.
• Prepare, review, and submit Certified Payroll reports and related documentation with accuracy and consistency.
• Resolve payroll discrepancies, tax issues, garnishments, child support orders, and multi-state/local payroll matters, communicating outcomes clearly to employees and stakeholders.
• Serve as a subject matter resource for prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, and certified payroll requirements across the business.
• Support payroll tax reconciliation, audit requests, and compliance documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
• Build, improve, and maintain payroll reports, data validations, and recurring analysis to strengthen accuracy, visibility, and decision-making.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual tasks, streamline workflows, and improve payroll processes using Excel, Alteryx, reporting tools, and other technology.
• Partner with payroll, accounting, operations, HR, IT, and project teams to test enhancements, solve issues, and improve payroll-related processes.

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, business administration, information systems, or a related field.
• 4+ years of payroll, accounting, or related experience.
• 2+ years of direct prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon payroll experience.
• Thorough knowledge of federal, state, and local prevailing wage requirements, certified payroll reporting, and payroll compliance practices.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, formulas, and data analysis.
• Strong systems aptitude and comfort learning new tools, platforms, and integrations quickly.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with close attention to detail.
• Clear communication skills and a service mindset when supporting employees and internal teams.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
