This Construction Payroll Specialist role offers the opportunity to join a well‑established Orlando‑based construction company with more than 40 years of industry success.

As a Construction Payroll Specialist, you’ll take ownership of a high‑volume, full‑cycle payroll process supporting approximately 500 employees in a structured, weekly payroll environment. This role offers strong exposure to job costing, labor tracking, and construction‑specific payroll compliance, giving the Construction Payroll Specialist a highly marketable skill set.

This opportunity is ideal for a Construction Payroll Specialist who thrives in routine‑driven workflows, enjoys detailed reconciliation work, and values a stable, team‑oriented environment with long‑term career potential.

  • Execute weekly payroll workflow, including time validation, PTO entry, payroll adjustments, reporting, and check processing as the Construction Payroll Specialist
  • Run payroll reports, support leadership with payroll data, and maintain documentation while assisting in filing and cross‑department support as the Construction Payroll Specialist
Qualifications for the Construction Payroll Specialist
  • 5+ years of full‑cycle payroll experience in a high‑volume environment
  • Construction payroll experience strongly preferred, including exposure to job costing, certified payroll, or Davis‑Bacon requirements
  • ERP system experience required (Vista, Viewpoint, or similar); strong attention to detail and process discipline
What You’ll Gain as a Construction Payroll Specialist
  • Stable, long‑tenured organization with strong leadership and culture
  • Family‑oriented environment that values collaboration and autonomy
  • Participation in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Predictable, structured payroll workflow with clear expectations
  • Long‑term career growth within a well‑established construction company
