Job description

The Company
  • Leading, highly respected Tier 2 builder who is delivering a technically complex data centre project in Sydney.
  • Nationally acclaimed builder with strong pipeline of technical projects ($50M - $500M) 
  • Standout opportunity for a driven Contracts Administrator who wants to be involved in cutting-edge data centre infrastructure with a business known for quality, well programmed projects and strong client relationships 
  • This is not your typical commercial build — you’ll be working on a project that demands precision, coordination, and a deep understanding of services-heavy construction.
  • The Builder has multiple Data Centres in construction or just starting so location is flexible  - North or West Sydney
The Opportunity
  
Based on site you’ll join a high-performing project team on a large-scale data centre ($300M – $500M +)  - working closely with experienced Project Managers, Engineers, and specialist subcontractors. The role will see you heavily involved in procurement, administration, and cost management across complex trade packages.

Salary will depend on exp ($150K - $200K) 
  
Key Responsibilities
  • Letting and managing subcontract packages across a services-heavy project
  • Reviewing, negotiating, and administering subcontract agreements
  • Managing variations, progress claims, and cost reporting
  • Working closely with site and design teams to ensure commercial outcomes are achieved
  • Supporting the delivery team to maintain programme and budget targets
  • Building strong relationships with subcontractors and stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience as a Contracts Administrator within a head contractor environment
  • Exposure to complex commercial, or heavy service-related projects (data centre experience highly regarded but not essential)
  • Strong commercial acumen and attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple packages in a fast-paced environment
  • Confident communicator who can build relationships across all levels
  • Construction related degree and local experience.
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work on a technically advanced, high-profile data centre project
  • Join a builder with a strong reputation for delivering complex projects
  • Be part of a collaborative, well-structured team with clear career progression
  • Long-term pipeline of similar high-value, technical projects within the health, industrial and educational sectors ($50M - $500M)
  • Competitive salary package aligned with experience (150K – 200K)
If you’re looking to step into a complex and technically challenging environment, or already operating in this space and want to work with one of the best teams in the market, I’d be keen to have a confidential chat.
