Contracts administration isn't just about keeping the paperwork in order.At SWI Fencing, the Contracts Administrator plays a much bigger role protecting our commercial position from the moment a project is awarded through to final account.We're looking for someone who understands that a missed notice, an unsigned variation or a poorly tracked commitment can quickly become a very expensive problem.If you know your contracts, your registers and your entitlements and you're not afraid to pursue them we want to hear from you.What will you actually be doing?
You'll be involved from the front end of the contract, making sure we understand exactly what we've signed up to and where the commercial risks sit.You'll:Review head contract conditions, liabilities and commercial requirementsBuild and maintain the commercial risk register and departures scheduleReview payment terms, security and retention requirementsCapture commercial commitments, scope changes and contractual obligationsFinalise commercial qualifications and subcontract templatesNegotiate and execute contract conditions and expenditure capsManage early-works approvals and procurement authorisationsSecure insurances, guarantees and other contractual documentationEstablish contract registers and obligation trackersExecute head contracts and prepare clear Contract and Commercial summaryManage claims, variations, EOTs and contractual noticesKeep cost reporting,



forecasting and commitments accurateSupport projects through to final account and make sure SWI is paid for everything it is contractually entitled toThis role is not for someone who just files contracts.We're looking for someone commercially switched-on.Someone who reads the detail.Someone who understands the difference between what the contract says and what actually happened on site.Someone who will ask: "Where is our entitlement?
" and then do something about it.You'll work closely with Project Managers and the Commercial Manager to keep the commercial position visible, reporting disciplined and issues dealt with before they become disputes that have been sitting around for six months.You'll probably be a positive fit if you...Have Contracts Administration experience within construction, particularly construction subcontractingUnderstand both head contracts and subcontractsHave hands‐on experience with variations, EOTs, claims and final accountsAre highly organised and comfortable managing registers, notices, commitments and deadlinesUnderstand cost reporting and forecastingHave experience with Premier an advantage, but not essentialAre commercially assertive without being unnecessarily difficultCan have a robust commercial conversation and still maintain a good working relationshipKnow when to push, when to negotiate and when something needs to be escalatedWork well alongside Project Managers and Commercial leadershipWhy SWI?
