Partnership Employment is partnered with a well-established, oil and gas company to find their next HR Specialist focused on Payroll & Benefits. This is a great opportunity for an HR professional who wants to grow into a more well-rounded generalist role within a stable, people-first organization that has been operating successfully for 50 years.

About the Opportunity

You'll play a key role in ensuring accurate, compliant, and timely payroll and benefits administration for an international workforce. Working alongside a tight-knit HR team, you'll partner with accounting, tax advisors, and external paying agents to keep employees supported across the globe.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate end-to-end international payroll, including capturing payroll-impacting data, processing monthly timesheets, and reviewing payments
• Cross-check paying agent invoices and provide monthly wage and expense reports to Accounting
• Manage expatriate benefits and pension plans, including enrollments, changes, transfers, and terminations
• Reconcile medical, disability, and group life insurance statements for approval
• Serve as a point of contact for employee payroll and salary inquiries
• Liaise with tax advisors to support personal income tax filings
• Maintain accurate HR records, track attendance and leave, and manage onboarding and offboarding
• Prepare quarterly headcount reports and support special projects for HR leadership

What We're Looking For

• 2 to 5 years of HR experience within the oil & gas or energy industry
• Exposure to offshore crews and international or expatriate populations is strongly preferred
• Some hands-on payroll and benefits experience
• Strong analytical skills with sharp attention to detail and data accuracy
• Polished, organized, and able to juggle multiple priorities
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Accounting, or a related field is highly preferred
• Proficiency with MS Office (Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint); HRIS or payroll systems a plus

Perks

• 401(k) with a 3% match plus an additional 3 to 4% company contribution
• Profit sharing
• Three PPO medical plan options
• 12 paid holidays plus 2 additional holidays
• Free breakfast every Thursday, holiday parties, and regular employee events
• A conservative, family-oriented culture with heavy tenure and a genuine commitment to taking care of its people

Why This Role

This is a chance to step into a position you can truly make your own. Leadership welcomes fresh eyes and ideas, and the company offers the kind of stability and warmth that's hard to find. If you're looking for a long-term home rather than a quick stop, this could be the one.
