Own payroll. Make it better. Be the person everyone trusts to get it right.

Andrew’s is a growing, multi-division company working in refrigeration, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and construction across Arizona. About 270 people count on us to pay them accurately and on time, and we’re looking for a Payroll Administrator to own that.

This isn’t a “just push the button” role. You’ll run payroll end to end, handle taxes at year-end, keep our certified payroll airtight, and have real room to improve how things get done. If you like being the go-to expert and enjoy the puzzle of construction payroll, we’d love to meet you.

  • Experience with Paylocity or a similar payroll system.
  • Sharp attention to detail, good judgment, and discretion with confidential info.
  • Bonus points for CPP or FPC certification.

    • Why You’ll Like It Here
