Cetified Payroll Compliance & Reporting Manager
Location: Houston, Tx
Employment Type: Full-Time
Own the Program. Set the Standard.
Hays Electrical Services is one of the most trusted electrical contractors in the country — 19 years, multi-state operations, and a reputation built on safety, precision, and delivering for our clients. Now we're looking for a Certified Payroll Compliance & Reporting Manager who doesn't just process certified payroll — they own it end to end.
The Role
This is a high-impact position responsible for managing certified payroll compliance across all prevailing wage and government-funded projects company-wide. You'll be the subject matter expert — the person everyone turns to when it comes to Davis-Bacon, DOL Form WH-347, LCP Tracker, and prevailing wage worker classification. You'll also drive the process improvements and automation that make the department leaner and more scalable.
What You'll Do
We invest in our people. At Hays, you'll find a team that holds itself to a high standard — and supports you in doing the same. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision), generous PTO, and real opportunities for growth in a fast-moving organization.
