Job Description
This Payroll Administrator in Tilbury RM18 role sits within a busy logistics and warehousing company based near the Tilbury Docks, one of the largest port areas in the South East. The business handles hundreds of temporary and permanent staff across multiple shifts, making accurate and timely payroll processing absolutely critical to their operations. As the Payroll Administrator, you will take ownership of the weekly payroll cycle, ensuring all hourly-paid and salaried employees are paid correctly and on time. You will work closely with the HR team and operations managers to manage starters, leavers, overtime, shift differentials, and statutory deductions. This is a hands-on, desk-based role that requires excellent organisational skills, a thorough understanding of HMRC real-time information (RTI) reporting, and the ability to thrive under pressure during peak payroll periods. The position offers a competitive pay rate, weekly pay, and the genuine possibility of a temp-to-perm arrangement for the right person.
Why choose Recruitment Agency London for your next Payroll Administrator role? We are a trusted local recruitment agency with deep roots in the Tilbury RM18 area and across Essex and the Thames Gateway.

When you register with us, you gain access to a wide range of immediate start Payroll Administrator jobs, temporary assignments, and temp-to-perm opportunities in Tilbury and the surrounding areas.

Our team provides dedicated support, fast registration, and weekly pay, so you can focus on doing your best work without worrying about administration.
Key Responsibilities
- Process weekly and monthly payroll for approximately 200–300 employees, including hourly-paid warehouse staff, salaried management, and office-based personnel, using Sage Payroll and Excel spreadsheets.
- Ensure full compliance with HMRC RTI regulations, including the accurate submission of FPS and EPS reports before each payroll deadline, and the management of tax codes, National Insurance contributions, and student loan deductions.
- Manage the full employee lifecycle from a payroll perspective, including processing new starter forms (HMRC checklist), P45s, P46s, and leaver documentation, as well as calculating final pay and holiday pay accruals.
- Handle payroll queries and resolve discrepancies promptly and professionally, liaising directly with employees, line managers, and the HR department to ensure accurate records and timely resolution of any issues.
- Process pension contributions and statutory payments including auto-enrolment into the workplace pension scheme, maternity pay, paternity pay, sick pay, and unpaid leave adjustments, ensuring all deductions are accurate and compliant.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a payroll administration role, ideally within a logistics, warehousing, or distribution environment where high-volume weekly payroll is the norm. You should be comfortable processing payroll for both hourly-paid and salaried staff.
- Strong working knowledge of UK payroll legislation, including real-time information (RTI), auto-enrolment pension schemes, statutory payments, and HMRC reporting requirements. You must be confident in your ability to stay compliant with changing regulations.
- Excellent numerical accuracy and attention to detail, with the ability to spot errors and discrepancies before they affect payroll. You should be comfortable working with large datasets and reconciling payroll figures to the penny.
- Proficiency in payroll software and Microsoft Excel. Experience with Sage Payroll, Xero, or similar payroll platforms is highly desirable, as is intermediate Excel skills including VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and data validation techniques.
