An established heavy industry organisation is seeking an experienced Contract Administrator to support a major construction project. With the project scheduled to run until 2034, this opportunity offers strong potential for ongoing work beyond the initial contract.

You will manage core contract administration activities, working closely with the project, legal and management teams to support project delivery and provide advice on contractual matters.

About the role

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Administering construction contracts and supporting procurement processes.

  • Reviewing and interpreting contract terms and conditions.

  • Identifying contractual risks and advising on departures from agreed terms.

  • Assessing and managing variations, extensions of time and progress claims.

  • Working with legal and management teams to resolve contractual issues.

  • Maintaining accurate contract records and supporting monthly payment processes.

About you

You will bring:

  • A minimum of five years’ experience in contract administration within construction.

  • Strong knowledge of construction contracts, procurement and contractual risk.

  • Experience managing variations, extensions of time and progress claims.

  • The ability to provide clear, practical advice to project stakeholders.

  • Strong attention to detail and confidence managing competing priorities.

Heavy industry experience would be highly regarded. Candidates with commercial construction experience, including apartment developments, are also encouraged to apply. A project management background with a smaller construction contractor may also be suitable where you have managed contracts directly.

Working arrangements

This role requires attendance onsite five days per week, with flexibility for appointments when needed. You must be comfortable travelling to site each day.
