Payroll Manager (Construction/Multi-Union)

Who We Are

Double L is a group of construction companies with different specialties but one purpose: building the future.

What We're Looking For

Wanted: a Payroll Manager who knows their... stuff. Someone who has 'been there, done that' in the world of construction payroll. Someone who will preserve our Controller's sanity (hey, Brea!). Payroll taxes, prevailing wage, certified payroll, union dues - it's no problem for you. You can't wait to go to bed so you can wake up and process payroll.

If any of these statements apply to you - what is wrong wi- no, no, nevermind, just apply! That's great for you!

What We Offer

When you interview for a job, it's a two-way street. While you're trying to put your best foot forward, we're doing the same. We are proud to offer an excellent compensation & benefits package including union-equivalent health insurance, dental insurance, VSP, paid time off (including paid parental leave after 1 year of service!), bonus potential, 401k with company contributions, weekly pay, company-paid life and disability insurance, optional employee-paid additional life insurance for employees, their spouses, and children... I could go on, but I'm tired of typing.

Note: in exchange for great benefits, must tolerate a heavy level of various antics at work
