Prevailing Wage Compliance Analyst

Prevailing Wage Compliance Analyst

Location: Centennial, CO (Hybrid after training)
Compensation: $95,000 – $105,000

Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Prevailing Wage Compliance Analyst to join a growing corporate team supporting complex, large-scale construction and government-funded projects. This is a critical, high-impact role responsible for ensuring full compliance across both internal payroll and a rapidly expanding network of subcontractors.

This position goes beyond standard payroll processing—focusing heavily on post-payroll prevailing wage compliance, manual calculations, and subcontractor oversight. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on expertise and can confidently operate in a highly detailed, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and audit subcontractor Certified Payroll Reports (CPRs) for accuracy and compliance

• Validate wage classifications, fringe calculations, and restitution requirements

• Interpret and apply Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage regulations

• Review supporting documentation including:

  • Apprenticeship records

  • Fringe benefit statements

  • Wage determinations

• Perform manual payroll data analysis and manipulation, often outside of payroll systems

• Upload and manage compliance documentation across multiple third-party platforms and portals

• Act as the primary liaison with subcontractors to:

  • Resolve discrepancies

  • Ensure proper documentation

  • Guide them through compliance processes

• Train and “handhold” subcontractors with limited prevailing wage experience

• Track outstanding compliance items and maintain audit-ready documentation

• Support internal payroll operations with prevailing wage-related tasks

• Assist with DOL inquiries and third-party audits

What Makes This Role Unique

• Heavy focus on manual compliance work vs. automated payroll systems

• Requires working across multiple compliance platforms (not just one system)

• High level of interaction with subcontractors using different payroll systems and varying levels of experience

• Opportunity to help build and scale a compliance function as subcontractor volume grows significantly

• Blend of technical expertise, analytical work, and stakeholder training

Required Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of hands-on prevailing wage compliance experience (construction or government projects strongly preferred)

• Strong knowledge of:

  • Davis-Bacon Act and related regulations

  • Wage determinations and classifications

  • Fringe benefit calculations and restitution processes

• Proven experience reviewing and validating Certified Payroll Reports (CPRs)

• Experience working with multiple certified payroll/compliance platforms (e.g., LCP Tracker, eMars, Points North, eComply, or similar)

• Advanced Excel skills with ability to manipulate and analyze raw payroll data

• Ability to clearly explain compliance processes and requirements to external partners

• Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy

• Excellent communication and organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in construction, renewable energy, or government-funded projects

• Background supporting or responding to DOL audits or compliance reviews

• Experience working directly with subcontractors on compliance enforcement and training

Work Environment

• Hybrid schedule (2 remote days per week after training period)

• Collaborative, fast-growing team environment

• High-volume, deadline-driven workload requiring strong prioritization skills

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is best suited for someone who:

• Has true, hands-on prevailing wage experience (not just system uploads)

• Understands how to calculate and validate wages from the ground up

• Is comfortable working in less automated, more manual environments

• Can act as both a technical expert and a guide for subcontractors

• Thrives in a complex, evolving compliance landscape
