Contracts Administrator | Commercial Builder | Brisbane
If you're a Contracts Administrator who wants proper involvement in project delivery - not just processing claims and updating registers - this is worth a look.
A privately owned construction business is looking to add a CA to its Brisbane team.
Based from the Fortitude Valley office, you'll work closely with Project Managers and site teams across the commercial delivery of their projects.
They need someone who can write a proper scope, compare trade coverage, keep forecasts accurate and stay ahead of variations.
The role
Preparing trade scopes and tender packages
Managing subcontractor procurement
Reviewing quotations and identifying scope gaps
Preparing subcontract agreements
Assessing progress claims
Managing variations and contract correspondence
Maintaining cost reports and project forecasts
Supporting head contract claims
Tracking commercial risks and outstanding information
Attending project and subcontractor meetings
Assisting with close-out and final accounts
The position is office-based, with site visits and project meetings as required.
The builder
The business delivers new-build, refurbishment and upgrade projects across education, health, retail, office and industrial sectors throughout South East Queensland.




The commercial and delivery teams work closely throughout each project, giving the CA exposure beyond basic contract administration.
Are you suitable?
At least three years' experience as a CA with an Australian commercial builder
Experience across commercial new-build or refurbishment projects
A sound understanding of procurement, cost control and contract administration
The ability to prepare explicit trade scopes and compare subcontractor pricing
Confidence dealing with subcontractors, consultants and project teams
A construction management, quantity surveying or related qualification
JobPac experience would be preferred, although experience with comparable construction systems will be considered.
You do not need to be a finished Senior CA, but you should be capable of managing your own packages and commercial workload.
Candidates without Australian head-contractor experience are unlikely to suit this role.
What's on offer
An office-based role with regular project exposure
Work across several commercial building sectors
Responsibility across the full commercial cycle
Scope to take on larger packages and greater responsibility
Salary package based on experience
