Contracts Administrator

About the Company
Our client is a respected name in the ACT construction industry, known for delivering complex, high-value new build projects across the residential and commercial sectors with project values ranging up to $100M. They've built a reputation not just for the quality of what they construct, but for how they develop their people. This is a business that genuinely invests in its team, promotes from within, and gives ambitious professionals the exposure and mentorship needed to fast-track a long-term career in construction.

The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join a business that treats career development as a genuine priority, not a box to tick. You'll step into a role with real substance taking ownership of contract administration on a significant new build project and working alongside with experienced project team who want to see you succeed.
  
From day one, you'll be given the trust, autonomy and mentorship to grow your skills, sharpen your commercial acumen, and build the runway toward a Senior Contracts Administrator. For the right person, this isn't just a job; it's the start of a career trajectory backed by a company that will actively invest in getting you there.
 
What You'll Be Doing

• Managing the full contract administration lifecycle across new build residential and commercial projects
• Preparing and negotiating subcontracts, variations, and progress claims
• Monitoring project costs, budgets, and forecasts against contract value
• Liaising with project managers, subcontractors, and clients to keep commercial matters on track
• Identifying and managing contractual risk throughout the project lifecycle
• Supporting the project manager and management with reporting and commercial strategy — with a view to taking on more responsibility as you grow into the role

What You'll Bring

• 3–5 years' experience as a Contracts Administrator in the Australian construction industry
• Solid experience on new build commercial and/or multi-residential projects
• Jobpac experience highly regarded
• Strong commercial and contractual acumen, with sharp attention to detail
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills
• A genuine appetite for career growth and a willingness to be developed into a senior, leadership role

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real career progression - a defined pathway to Senior CA, not just a title change down the track
• Serious project exposure - work across a diverse pipeline of residential and commercial new builds up to $100M
• A company that backs its people - mentorship, training, and investment in your long-term development
• Stability and scale - join an established, respected business with a strong forward pipeline
