A well-established civil engineering business based in the Bootle area is seeking an experienced Payroll Manager with additional Accounts Payable experience to join its finance team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an organised and proactive payroll professional who enjoys working in a hands-on environment and is keen to help improve and streamline existing payroll processes.

The Role

You will take ownership of the company's weekly and monthly payroll operations, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time. Alongside payroll responsibilities, you will support the finance function with Accounts Payable duties.

The payroll function is currently quite manual, with paper-based timesheets feeding into the payroll process. Therefore, applicants with experience of payroll automation, process improvements, or system enhancements will be particularly attractive.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end weekly and monthly payroll processing using Sage Payroll
  • Ensure payroll is processed accurately and within agreed deadlines
  • Process and validate paper-based timesheets
  • Maintain payroll records and employee data
  • Handle payroll queries from employees and management
  • Ensure compliance with HMRC regulations and payroll legislation
  • Process supplier invoices and manage Accounts Payable activities
  • Reconcile supplier statements and resolve invoice discrepancies
  • Assist with month-end finance processes as required
  • Identify opportunities to improve payroll efficiency and introduce automation where possible

About You

  • Previous experience managing end-to-end payroll
  • Strong working knowledge of Sage Payroll
  • Experience processing both weekly and monthly payrolls
  • Accounts Payable experience is essential
  • Good understanding of payroll legislation and HMRC requirements
  • Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
  • Confident working with manual payroll inputs and timesheets
  • Experience implementing payroll improvements or automation projects would be highly advantageous
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build relationships across the business

What's on Offer?

  • Salary up to £35,000
  • Stable and growing civil engineering business
  • Opportunity to make a real impact on payroll processes and systems
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Long-term career opportunity within a successful organisation

If you are an experienced Payroll professional with Accounts Payable experience and are looking for a varied role where you can drive improvements and add value, we would love to hear from you.
