Description:
Who are TTW Engineers?

TTW Engineers is a leader in smart, sustainable, and innovative engineering solutions in Structural, Civil, Heritage, Façade & Construction Engineering. As we continue to expand across industries and international markets, we remain proudly Australian-owned and focused on delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.

Due to our ongoing growth, we are excited to expand our Payroll Team!

About the Role

To support TTW during a pivotal phase of growth, we are looking for a Payroll Officer role who is looking to build their capability and develop a long-term career in payroll.

Reporting to and supported by a seasoned and well experienced Payroll Manager, this hands-on role is role suited to someone who enjoys ownership, values accuracy, and is keen to expand their knowledge across Australian payroll and award interpretation within a technical, project-driven environment.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of payroll for Australian employees, and you will work across a diverse and vibrant engineering workforce.

This role offers strong development opportunities, particularly in award interpretation, data handling, and complex payroll scenarios. For a capable, can-do individual with the right attitude, training and support will be provided to build the required technical skills and knowledge.

What you will do

• End-to-end payroll processing for Australian payrolls, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with relevant legislation. There may also be opportunity to process payroll for Singapore and Indonesia.
• Collaborate closely with Finance and HR teams to align payroll operations with broader business objectives.
• Ensure compliance with tax regulations, superannuation, and other statutory requirements.
• Maintain and update payroll records, including leave balances, entitlements, and employee data.
• Respond to employee queries regarding payroll, benefits, and entitlements in a timely and professional manner.
• Prepare payroll reports and analytics for internal stakeholders and external auditors as required.
• Support the implementation of new payroll systems or upgrades, including testing and training.

What are we looking for?

• Previous payroll experience or exposure to payroll processes
• A demonstrated understanding of Australian payroll legislation, or a strong willingness and ability to learn
• Intermediate Excel skills, including the ability to reconcile data, work with large datasets, and use formulas (e.g. VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables), or a strong willingness and ability to learn
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of your processes
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing deadlines
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• High attention to detail and ability to manage confidential information with discretion

What Will Make You Stand Out?

• You are a self-starter with a genuine appetite to learn and grow
• You take ownership of your work and consistently delivers accurate outcomes
• You don’t just process payroll—you seek to understand the “why” behind it, including legislation, systems, and downstream impacts.
• You are motivated to build your capability quickly, take on increasing responsibility, and progress toward a payroll leadership role.
