Play an integral role in supporting the successful execution of major construction, maintenance, turnaround, and industrial projects by ensuring workforce labor hours are accurately captured, verified, processed, and reported. As a Senior Timekeeper, you will serve as a trusted resource for project leadership, payroll administration, craft supervision, and project controls teams, helping ensure labor data integrity while supporting compliance, workforce accountability, and cost management.

This position offers the opportunity to work within a dynamic project environment where accuracy, attention to detail, and strong organizational skills directly contribute to project performance and operational success.

• Maintaining timekeeping records, files, documentation, and supporting audit requirements.
• Generating labor reports, workforce summaries, productivity reports, and project support metrics.
• Assisting project controls and management teams with labor tracking, workforce reporting, and labor cost analysis.
• Reviewing labor data and identifying trends, errors, and reporting concerns that may impact project performance or payroll accuracy.
• Supporting workforce onboarding activities involving timekeeping system setup, orientation, and process guidance.
• Assisting employees and supervisors with questions related to labor reporting, payroll support, and timekeeping procedures.
• Supporting audits, compliance reviews, and verification activities associated with workforce labor reporting.
• Participating in process improvement initiatives focused on reporting accuracy, workflow efficiency, and data integrity.
• Maintaining confidentiality and security of employee records and payroll-related information.
• Providing guidance and support to less experienced timekeeping or administrative personnel as required.
