Descrizione del lavoro

We're looking for more than a payroll professional. We're looking for a systems-minded builder who can create the infrastructure behind a growing manufacturing company.

Midwest Metals is expanding rapidly across multiple locations. We need a Payroll & HRIS Manager who can ensure accurate, timely payroll today while helping build the HR technology, timekeeping, reporting, and analytics capabilities we will need tomorrow.

ABOUT MIDWEST METALS

Midwest Metals is a privately held, family-owned manufacturing company on the move. We started in steel processing, and we are now building something bigger: a diversified manufacturing organization with locations across Michigan, and more on the way.

Our momentum comes from two directions. We are acquiring well-run manufacturers that bring new capabilities, new customers, and talented teams into the Midwest Metals family. At the same time, we are growing organically by investing in our existing operations, expanding capacity, adding equipment and services, and deepening relationships with the customers who already count on us.

What has not changed is who we are. Integrity, hard work, long-term relationships, and taking care of our people are still at the heart of everything we do. We are building a company designed to thrive for generations, with the entrepreneurial energy of a fast-growing business and the culture of a family that looks out for its own.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DIFFERENT

This role goes well beyond processing payroll. You will lead key projects including implementation of a new HRIS and Time & Attendance system, improve payroll and HR processes, and help build modern workforce reporting and analytics from the ground up. We need someone who can manage the details while also seeing how systems, data, and processes fit together.
