Contracts Manager | Live Construction Projects | Chermside Location

Ready to take broader commercial responsibility for construction projects? This Brisbane opportunity is open to an established Contracts Manager or a Senior Contract Administrator who is ready to step up. The focus is live works, with projects generally in the $1 million to $20 million range.

The business is a Queensland builder working across commercial construction, refurbishment and remedial projects. It delivers new buildings and extensions as well as upgrades to existing properties. Much of its work takes place in occupied or operational environments, where planning access, staging construction and communicating with building users matter alongside the physical works.

That creates a practical commercial role. You will need to connect contract administration with delivery, understanding how changes, procurement decisions and contractual commitments affect a project that must progress around an operating site. It suits someone who wants to remain close to the work and can turn detailed commercial information into clear actions for a project team.

The experience that matters

• Construction contract administration experience and the ability to take broader commercial ownership.
• Ideally, experience with live or occupied-site works.
• Preferably, exposure to projects of a similar $1 million to $20 million scale.
• Sound commercial judgement, clear communication and an organised approach to project information.

The business is flexible around experience. A current Contracts Manager title is not essential: Senior Contract Administrators with the capability to step up will be considered. Live-works and similar-scale project experience are preferences, rather than reasons to rule yourself out if your wider construction background is relevant.

Why consider it?

This is an opportunity to apply your commercial skills to construction where the operational setting makes a difference to how the job is planned and delivered. The mix of refurbishment, remedial and new-build work offers scope beyond a single type of project, while the appointment provides a route into Contracts Manager responsibility for the right Senior CA.

Apply with your CV, outlining the projects you have worked on and any experience delivering works around an occupied or operating site.
