Blue-Collar Pay/Timesheet Team Lead - HumeLink Project
Haymarket Sydney City
The Humelink project is one of UGL's major regional infrastructure programs, currently employing around 260 waged employees and expected to grow beyond 500. With a high‑volume, fast‑moving workforce and data coming from multiple sites across Wagga and the Riverina, accuracy, consistency and timely processing are critical.
This newly created position is based out of the project office in Haymarket, Sydney, and sits at the centre of ensuring our people are paid correctly, our processes run smoothly, and our systems evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly growing project.
About the role
We are seeking a hands on Pay and Timesheet Lead to oversee the end‑to‑end weekly processing of workforce time, allowances and entitlement data.
You'll act as the senior point of coordination across supervisors, site administrators, the corporate payroll team, and the project's new system. Provide advice, lead a team of 2, and play a key part in improving processes, solving issues early, and building a more accurate, consistent service.

* Real scope to introduce better processes, mentor team members, and influence the implementation of a new system.
Key responsibilities
* Oversee the full weekly timesheet and entitlement cycle, ensuring accurate EBA interpretation, complete data from supervisors, and clean uploads into SAP and resolve pay issues quickly and professionally.
* Drive accuracy and improvements by validating data, and reduce manual entitlement interpretation.
* Strengthen process governance by improving reporting, quality checks, and timeliness, significantly reducing pay issues and data inconsistencies.
* Provide guidance to the team, building capability and consistency.
