Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced Prevailing Wage Compliance Analyst to join a growing corporate team supporting complex, large-scale construction and government-funded projects. This is a critical, high-impact role responsible for ensuring full compliance across both internal payroll and a rapidly expanding network of subcontractors.
This position goes beyond standard payroll processing—focusing heavily on post-payroll prevailing wage compliance, manual calculations, and subcontractor oversight. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on expertise and can confidently operate in a highly detailed, fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities
Review and audit subcontractor Certified Payroll Reports (CPRs) for accuracy and compliance
Validate wage classifications, fringe calculations, and restitution requirements
Interpret and apply Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage regulations
Review supporting documentation including:
Apprenticeship records
Fringe benefit statements
Wage determinations
Perform manual payroll data analysis and manipulation, often outside of payroll systems
Upload and manage compliance documentation across multiple third-party platforms and portals
Act as the primary liaison with subcontractors to:
Resolve discrepancies
Ensure proper documentation
Guide them through compliance processes
Train and “handhold” subcontractors with limited prevailing wage experience
Track outstanding compliance items and maintain audit-ready documentation
Support internal payroll operations with prevailing wage-related tasks
Assist with DOL inquiries and third-party audits
What Makes This Role Unique
Heavy focus on manual compliance work vs. automated payroll systems
Requires working across multiple compliance platforms (not just one system)
High level of interaction with subcontractors using different payroll systems and varying levels of experience
Opportunity to help build and scale a compliance function as subcontractor volume grows significantly
Blend of technical expertise, analytical work, and stakeholder training
Required Qualifications
3–5+ years of hands-on prevailing wage compliance experience (construction or government projects strongly preferred)
Strong knowledge of:
Davis-Bacon Act and related regulations
Wage determinations and classifications
Fringe benefit calculations and restitution processes
Proven experience reviewing and validating Certified Payroll Reports (CPRs)
Experience working with multiple certified payroll/compliance platforms (e.g., LCP Tracker, eMars, Points North, eComply, or similar)
Advanced Excel skills with ability to manipulate and analyze raw payroll data
Ability to clearly explain compliance processes and requirements to external partners
Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
Excellent communication and organizational skills
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in construction, renewable energy, or government-funded projects
Background supporting or responding to DOL audits or compliance reviews
Experience working directly with subcontractors on compliance enforcement and training
Work Environment
Hybrid schedule (2 remote days per week after training period)
Collaborative, fast-growing team environment
High-volume, deadline-driven workload requiring strong prioritization skills
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is best suited for someone who:
Has true, hands-on prevailing wage experience (not just system uploads)
Understands how to calculate and validate wages from the ground up
Is comfortable working in less automated, more manual environments
Can act as both a technical expert and a guide for subcontractors
Thrives in a complex, evolving compliance landscape
