AN ABSOLUTE PAYROLL EXCLUSIVE! Due to the Payroll Manager being seconded onto a Dayforce implementation payroll project, this well established and rapidly growing engineering company has just created a 6‑month fixed‑term contract to support a long‑standing and well‑established team of four, processing end‑to‑payroll using Preceda and Dayforce.

TOP BENS INCLUDE! Top‑end salary on offer – up to $120k+S (experience dependant) for what is essentially a Payroll Officer level role – being a contract they will pay more to secure the right person. Opportunity to be trained on the highly desirable Dayforce system! This will open up many doors as Dayforce continues to roll out across Australia with Preceda ending its lifecycle. Initial 6‑month contract with a likely extension and the potential to go permanent. Booming global engineering business – doubled in size over the last three years.
