• Coordinating RFIs, shop drawings, and consultant information to support project delivery
• Liaising with subcontractors, consultants, suppliers, and internal project teams
• Monitoring project costs and identifying opportunities to mitigate risk and maximise value
• Managing project documentation and ensuring contractual compliance throughout the project lifecycle
• Supporting the Project Manager with reporting, forecasting, and commercial decision-making
• Assisting with final accounts, defects management, and project close-out processes
About You
To be successful, you will possess:
• 3+ years' experience as a Contract Administrator delivering new build construction projects
• Proven experience working on projects valued at $10M+ from commencement through to completion
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies, including concrete, steel, and services packages
• Excellent commercial acumen, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
