Senior Payroll Co-ordinator

Our client is looking for a Senior Payroll Coordinator to join their team at Hinkley Point C (Bridgwater), supporting the weekly payroll for a large, site-based workforce. This is not a quiet, slow-paced role, it is busy, deadline-driven, and genuinely important to keeping operations running smoothly on site. You will take ownership of payroll for around 400 employees, making sure everything is processed accurately, on time, and in line with site agreements and union rules. From checking timesheets and handling adjustments to managing queries and supporting audits, you will be right at the centre of it all. You will be working closely with both the on-site Commercial Team and Central Payroll, so strong communication and organisation skills are key. If you enjoy being trusted to get on with your work, take responsibility, and make an impact, this is the role for you. This role would suit someone who already has payroll experience and is confident working with systems and data. If you have worked in construction, contracting, or a unionised environment before, that will definitely help, but is not essential. The role is based at Hinkley Point C with a hybrid setup — 3 days on site and 2 working from home. Travel to site is made easy with organised transport routes from places like Taunton, Bridgwater, Weston and Minehead. Working hours are Monday to Thursday 08:00–16:15 and an early finish on Friday at 15:00.
