CE Group is a growing Australian electrical engineering, construction and manufacturing business delivering complex projects across the infrastructure, energy, resources, industrial and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Why join CE Group?

This is an opportunity to take on a broad, delivery-focused role within a growing business and gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of technically complex projects.

You will work directly with experienced commercial and project leaders, contribute throughout the full project lifecycle and have genuine scope to strengthen commercial outcomes across the wider CE Group.

About the role

Based at our Yatala office and reporting to the Commercial Manager, this role has a strong downstream focus, supporting the formation, administration and close-out of subcontract and supply agreements across CE Group’s project portfolio.

- Coordinate subcontractor approvals, execution, insurances, licences, securities and other pre-commencement requirements.
- Administer subcontractor performance, including progress claims, variations, extension of time requests, directions, breaches and contractual correspondence.
- Prepare practical completion certificates, deeds of release, final accounts and retention or security releases.
- Maintain accurate registers and records while supporting project reporting, commercial risk management and contract close-out.

About you

- Demonstrated contracts administration experience within a construction, engineering, industrial or project delivery environment.
- Strong practical experience forming and administering downstream subcontracts and managing subcontractor performance.
- Experience assessing progress claims, variations and extension of time requests and preparing contractual notices.
