The Labor Compliance Specialist supports payroll and labor compliance requirements across Ames Construction projects, with a focus on certified payroll, prevailing wage, and subcontractor compliance. This position partners closely with Payroll, Project Management, field operations, and subcontractors to help ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, local, owner, and project-specific labor requirements.

The Labor Compliance Specialist reviews certified payroll documentation, verifies employee classifications and applicable wage requirements, maintains compliance reporting systems and records, and assists in identifying and resolving payroll or labor compliance discrepancies. The position also maintains accurate and complete documentation to support agency reviews, audits, and project closeout requirements.

In addition, the Labor Compliance Specialist serves as an internal resource for certified payroll and prevailing wage requirements, helping project teams understand compliance obligations and supporting consistent application of labor requirements across projects.

Certified Payroll & Prevailing Wage Compliance

  • Prepare, review, reconcile, and submit certified payroll reports for applicable federal, state, municipal, and other publicly funded construction projects.
  • Monitor compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) and applicable state and local prevailing-wage requirements.
  • Review employee classifications, wage rates, fringe benefits, hours worked, and project assignments for compliance with applicable wage determinations.
  • Identify discrepancies between payroll records, certified payroll reports, project requirements, and applicable wage classifications.
  • Coordinate corrections and maintain supporting documentation for compliance reviews and audits.
  • Monitor changes in wage determinations and project-specific labor requirements and communicate impacts to Payroll, project teams, and field operations.

Union & Craft Labor

  • Support payroll and compliance processes for union craft employees working across heavy civil projects.
  • Review wage rates, classifications, fringe-benefit treatment, overtime, and other labor requirements against applicable project and collective bargaining requirements.
  • Work closely with Payroll to resolve employee classification, wage, fringe, and project-coding discrepancies.
  • Partner with field supervision and project teams to ensure employee work classifications appropriately reflect work performed.
  • Assist in researching and resolving labor-compliance questions involving changing scopes of work, classifications, jurisdictions, or project requirements.

Compliance Systems & Reporting

  • Maintain labor-compliance records and complete required reporting using LCP Tracker, AASHTOWare/CRL, Elation Systems, and owner or agency specific compliance platforms.
  • Upload, validate, review, and monitor certified payroll and related compliance information.
  • Track outstanding payrolls, errors, exceptions, corrections, and other compliance items through resolution.
  • Maintain organized records supporting project closeout, agency review, and potential audits.
  • Develop recurring reporting that provides visibility into project compliance status, open exceptions, and outstanding documentation.

Subcontractor Compliance

  • Review subcontractor certified payroll submissions for completeness and compliance with project requirements.
  • Track subcontractor payroll submissions and follow up on missing, incomplete, or potentially noncompliant information.
  • Communicate compliance expectations and documentation requirements to subcontractors.
  • Work with project management when corrective action is needed.
  • Maintain documentation demonstrating contractor and subcontractor compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

Project Support & Audit Readiness

  • Participate in project startup to identify prevailing-wage, certified payroll, and other labor-compliance requirements before work begins.
  • Establish and maintain project-specific compliance files.
  • Work with Project Managers and project teams to proactively identify labor-compliance risks.
  • Provide documentation and support for owner, agency, internal, and external labor-compliance reviews.
  • Assist with project closeout by confirming required labor documentation has been completed and retained.
  • Serve as an internal resource on prevailing-wage and certified-payroll questions.

Qualifications

  • Working knowledge of Davis-Bacon, certified payroll, and prevailing-wage requirements.
  • Experience working with union and/or prevailing-wage employees strongly preferred.
  • Experience with LCPtracker, AASHTOWare/CRL, Elation Systems, or similar certified-payroll/labor-compliance systems preferred.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
