  • Demonstrated experience as a Contracts Manager / Senior Contracts Administrator with an Australian head contractor
  • Strong capability in claims preparation, disputes, and formal contract correspondence
  • Experience supporting delivery of major infrastructure or civil construction projects
  • Confidence working in a site-based project environment
  • Excellent written communication skills
  • A legal background (beneficial but not essential)
  • Full Australian working rights
Why Consider This Role?
