Contract Administrator

An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Contract Administrator to join a growing commercial construction business delivering quality projects across Queensland.

Established nearly five years ago, the business has built a strong reputation within the construction industry, supported by an experienced and down to earth, capableteam with a clear focus on quality, collaboration and successful project delivery.

With a growing pipeline of work, the business is continuing to expand its presence across the Sunshine Coast and is now looking for a Contract Administrator to join the team and play a key role in the delivery of two commercial projects there.

About the Role

Working closely with the Project Manager and wider project team, you will be responsible for the day-to-day commercial and contractual administration of the projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing head contract and subcontract administration, including claims, variations, EOTs and contractual correspondence.
• Managing subcontractor procurement, tendering, scope, pricing and negotiations.
• Monitoring project costs, budgets, forecasting and monthly commercial reporting.
• Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities.
• Maintaining accurate contractual and commercial documentation across project systems.
• Building strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and project teams.
• Supporting the Project Manager through to Practical Completion and final account.

About You

We are looking for a Contract Administrator who is commercially astute, organised and enjoys being part of a collaborative construction team.

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous experience as a Contract Administrator within commercial construction
• Experience across aged care, health, residential or other complex construction projects highly regarded
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing effectively to a project team
• Relevant construction or commercial qualifications

Why Join?

This is a chance to join a growing builder where your work has genuine commercial impact. With an experienced leadership team and a strong pipeline of projects, you’ll be trusted with real responsibility rather than being another number in a large business.

You’ll work closely with senior project and commercial leaders, gaining hands-on exposure to complex contracts, procurement, variations, claims and commercial decision-making from tender through to completion.
