Job description

Payroll Administrator | Project Based | Western Sydney

We are currently seeking a Payroll Administrator to join a growing project-based business based in Western Sydney. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong administration and data entry skills who enjoys working with numbers and systems. You’ll be responsible for ensuring employee timesheet information is accurately captured and entered into the payroll system, working closely with data collected from project sites.

The Role:
  • Collect and collate employee timesheet information from project sites
  • Review timesheet data to ensure information is complete and accurate
  • Extract timesheet data from the company’s workforce management app
  • Enter and transfer timesheet information into the internal system
  • Identify and follow up on any discrepancies or missing information
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date payroll data
  • Provide general administrative support to the payroll function
  • Work closely with site teams to ensure timesheet information is submitted correctly and on time
About You:

We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, detail-focused and confident working with data.

You will ideally have:

  • Previous experience in payroll administration, timesheet administration, data entry or a similar administrative role
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  • Confidence working with systems and handling large volumes of data
  • The ability to identify discrepancies and follow up where required
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Experience within construction, electrical, engineering or another project-based environment would be beneficial.

This is a hands-on data entry-focused role, rather than a position responsible for processing payroll from start to finish. Your key responsibility will be ensuring accurate timesheet data is captured and entered into the relevant systems.

If you’re looking for a stable opportunity where you can utilise your administration and data entry skills within a busy project environment, we’d love to hear from you.
