What You'll Be Doing:- Manage Posted Worker compliance for employees and subcontractors, including registrations, declarations and supporting documentation.
- Monitor European deployments, working locations and duration to identify payroll, tax, social security and Permanent Establishment (PE) risks.
- Review country-specific requirements, including collective agreements, minimum pay, allowances, working time, holiday funds and employment conditions.

- Manage employment permits, visas and right-to-work documentation, including renewals and ongoing immigration compliance.
- Coordinate responses to labour authority enquiries, inspections and compliance audits.

- Global mobility
- Employment tax
- International payroll
- Posted Worker compliance
- Cross-border construction compliance
Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple countries, requirements and deadlines. A relevant qualification such as ACA, ACCA, IATI, ATT or CTA would be advantageous, although strong practical experience in European workforce compliance, Posted Workers and cross-border employment matters will be considered equally valuable.
What's In It For You:
This is an opportunity to take on a varied European compliance remit with exposure across multiple countries and specialist areas. You'll work closely with Finance, HR, Payroll and Operations while developing further experience across international employment, payroll, taxation, social security, immigration and workforce compliance. With a 50,000–65,000 salary, the role offers an attractive opportunity for an experienced compliance, global mobility, payroll or employment tax professional looking for a broad international remit.
