We are seeking a Payroll Analyst to support high-volume, multi-state payroll operations for a growing organization in the renewable energy space. This role is heavily focused on prevailing wage compliance and certified payroll reporting.

This is a strong fit for someone who has hands-on experience with certified payroll and wants to deepen their expertise in a complex, high-impact environment.

• Highly visible role partnering with payroll, accounting, and operations
• Strong internal culture with a focus on teamwork, stability, and long-term growth
• Clear path to deepen expertise in payroll compliance and regulatory reporting


Payroll Analyst - Key Responsibilities

• Process weekly, multi-state payroll for approximately 2,000 employees using Paylocity
• Prepare, review, and submit certified payroll reports in compliance with prevailing wage requirements (including Davis-Bacon and related regulations)
• Review time and labor data to ensure accurate wage classifications, overtime calculations, and fringe benefit allocations
• Edit, validate, and resubmit certified payroll filings as needed to resolve discrepancies or rejections
• Partner with Time & Labor and Operations teams to address missing punches, job coding issues, and payroll discrepancies
• Reconcile payroll-related accounts and support reporting for accounting and audit purposes
• Maintain accurate payroll records and supporting documentation for compliance and regulatory requirements
• Support payroll tax reporting, audits, and year-end processes


Payroll Analyst - Qualifications

• 5+ years of payroll experience in a high-volume environment
• Direct experience with certified payroll and prevailing wage compliance (including Davis-Bacon and related regulations)
• Strong understanding of multi-state payroll laws, wage classifications, and compliance requirements
• Experience in construction, field services, or project-based environments preferred
• Experience with Paylocity or similar payroll systems preferred
• High level of accuracy and ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
