A growing construction company delivering commercial and residential projects across Brisbane and surrounds.
We work across a diverse portfolio - from $100k fitouts through to $5m commercial builds - and we operate with a close-knit, high-trust team that takes pride in getting the job done properly.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Contract Administrator to join our team.
This is a hands-on, hybrid role that sits across two distinct functions: you'll carry genuine contract administration responsibilities (subcontractors, variations, RFIs, document control) while also spending a significant portion of your time as the lead supervisor on site.
You'll be working across multiple live projects simultaneously, reporting to two Construction Managers (Directors), and mentoring a cadet.
The role suits someone who is equally comfortable reviewing a subcontract one hour and resolving a site issue the next - and who has the experience to make sound decisions independently without needing to be directed.
What you'll be doing
Leading site supervision across multiple concurrent projects, acting as the primary on-site point of contact for subcontractors, trades, and clients
Administering subcontracts end-to-end: scoping, letting, managing variations, processing claims, and issuing notices
Developing and maintaining project programmes; tracking progress and flagging any schedule risk early
Procuring and managing subcontractors: sourcing, pricing, negotiating,



and holding them accountable on site
Preparing and submitting RFIs, managing submittals and document registers, and keeping project records tight
Liaising directly with clients and the Directors on project status, variations, and upcoming decisions
Supporting and mentoring a cadet through day-to-day site and office tasks
Ensuring WHS compliance across all sites in line with company and legislative requirements
Tracking costs and contributing to budget reporting across your projects
What we're looking for
The non-negotiables:
At least 5 years' experience in a hands-on construction role that spans both site supervision and contract administration
Demonstrated ability to run multiple projects simultaneously
Robust understanding of subcontract documents, variations, and claims (experience with AS**** or AS**** is well regarded)
White Card (General Construction Induction)
A Queensland Supervisor's Licence - or the experience to obtain one quickly
Confidence to make decisions on site and in documentation without needing to escalated everything
Ideally you'll also have:
A degree or TAFE qualification in Construction Management, Building, or a related trade
Experience with construction management software (Procore, Hammertech, or similar)
A solid network of reliable subcontractors in the Brisbane market
Experience across both commercial and residential project types
