Payroll Supervisor - Global Mining Services 

Perth  Airport | $130,000–$140,000 + bonus | Hybrid working

Ready to take ownership of a payroll function and help shape what it becomes?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an established global business supporting the mining and resources sector. This is a hands on Payroll Supervisor role offering the chance to lead a team, strengthen payroll processes and play a significant role in systems upgrades, integration and change.

The payroll function is approximately 60% of the way there, with a solid foundation already in place. The remaining 40% presents an exciting challenge for someone who enjoys problem-solving, driving improvements and turning opportunities into lasting change.

You'll oversee payroll across five Australian entities, managing weekly, fortnightly and monthly pay cycles while supporting three onshore Payroll Officers and providing technical guidance to two offshore team members.

With multiple payroll systems currently in use, you'll be heavily involved in system upgrades, changes and the longer-term consolidation of platforms, with a view to moving towards ADP Payforce. This is an opportunity to go beyond business-as-usual payroll and have a genuine influence on the future of the function, with scope for the role to develop into broader Australian payroll leadership.

What you'll be doing

• Oversee accurate and timely payroll delivery across five Australian entities and multiple pay cycles.

• Lead, support and develop three onshore Payroll Officers, while providing technical guidance to offshore colleagues.

• Play a key role in payroll system upgrades, changes, integration and consolidation, helping drive the function forward.

• Identify gaps, investigate issues and implement practical improvements across payroll processes, controls and procedures.

• Support payroll remediation, historical reconciliations and audit requirements.

• Interpret awards, enterprise agreements and complex employment conditions.

• Oversee superannuation, PAYG, payroll tax and other statutory obligations.

• Review complex calculations, including terminations, back payments and leave accruals.

• Manage month-end and financial year-end reporting and reconciliations.

• Work closely with HR, Finance and other stakeholders to resolve queries and improve the employee experience.

• Provide hands-on payroll support when needed, particularly during busy periods and team leave.

What we're looking for

• Strong end-to-end Australian payroll experience, ideally within a complex, multi-entity environment.

• Experience leading, mentoring or technically supporting payroll staff.

• A solid understanding of Australian payroll legislation, awards, enterprise agreements and compliance.

• Experience with payroll systems upgrades, implementations, integrations or process improvements.

• A proactive approach to problem-solving, with the confidence to investigate issues and recommend solutions.

• Someone who enjoys a mix of leadership, technical payroll and hands-on delivery.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with onshore and offshore teams.

• Mining, resources, construction or a similar industry background would be advantageous.

• Experience with MicrOpay or ADP Payforce would be highly regarded.

What's in it for you?

• $130,000–$140,000 + bonus, depending on experience.

• Permanent, full-time opportunity with an established global business.

• Hybrid working, with two days working from home.

• Perth International Airport location with free parking.

• The chance to make a tangible difference to a payroll function undergoing change.

• Significant involvement in systems upgrades, improvements and future consolidation.

• The opportunity to build on an existing foundation, tackle the remaining challenges and help shape the future of the Australian payroll function.

• Scope to take on broader payroll management responsibilities as the function evolves.
