Job Summary:

Centrus Energy is seeking a detail-driven Payroll Specialist who loves precision, problem-solving, and helping people. In this role, you'll ensure that every paycheck is accurate, every deduction is correct, and every deadline is met — all while supporting our mission to advance America's clean energy and national security goals. If you're someone who takes pride in getting the numbers right and enjoys turning complex regulations into smooth, reliable processes, this is the role for you.

 

What You Will Do

You'll prepare, process, and reconcile biweekly payrolls for both exempt and non-exempt employees, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness. You'll maintain payroll data, audit timekeeping records, process special payments, and collaborate closely with HR and Finance to ensure cost allocations and data integrity. You'll handle payroll inquiries with care, assist with reporting and audits, and help optimize Centrus's payroll processes to keep them efficient and compliant.

We'd Love to Hear from People With:

  • An associate or bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3+ years of progressive payroll experience, ideally in a multi-state or government contractor setting.
  • Proficiency in HRIS and payroll systems (Oracle or similar ERP experience preferred).
  • Solid understanding of payroll compliance, wage and hour laws, and tax principles.
  • Intermediate to advanced Excel skills for reconciliation and reporting.
  • Must possess or have the ability to obtain and maintain a "Q" Clearance (if located in Piketon).

     

A Successful Candidate Brings:

  • Experience in manufacturing, technical, or government contracting environments.
  • Familiarity with DCAA or DOE compliance and federal contractor payroll standards.
  • A Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) credential.
  • A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Q-level security clearance (if located in Piketon).

Estimated Starting Base Salary Range: $60,000 - $75,000. This position is Bonus eligible. Centrus considers several factors when extending job offers, including but not limited to candidates' key skills, relevant work experience, education/training/certifications, and geographic location. Actual compensation within this range will reflect these considerations.

Benefits:

Centrus Energy Corp. offers employees a highly competitive package of benefits. Listed below are those benefits offered to all full-time employees:

  • Paid vacation based on your length of service
  • Paid personal leave
  • Twelve paid holidays each year
  • Paid sick leave

  • Company subsidized health insurance including preferred provider organization, point-of-service and HMO plans, as well as dental and prescription drug coverage
  • Pre-tax flexible spending accounts are available with the ability to set aside up to $2,550 for Health Care and up to $5,000 for Dependent Care each calendar year.
  • Company paid long- and short-term disability insurance to protect your income if you are sick or injured
  • A 401(k) savings program with immediate eligibility to participate and with a company match of up to 7%
  • Tuition reimbursement for courses taken at an accredited college or university when certain criteria are met
  • An employer paid employee assistance program available to support both employees and members of their household
  • Free parking

     

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.

This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test and vetting to ensure Centrus Energy can meet the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 810 and 1017 to grant access to export-controlled information and Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information, respectively.  Such access is required for the performance of this position.
