Want a better career, a real team and an employer you trust?

Get it done at M2P

M2P was built to do engineering differently: to think smarter, challenge what is expected and deliver complex projects with pride. That approach has taken us from a growing business to a recognised leader in structural, mechanical and piping construction across Australia.

Today, we deliver major SMP projects in some of the country’s most demanding industries and operating environments, including underground mining and heavy industry. Our growth has never changed what matters most—our people. We value experience, trust our people and bring together skilled teams that take genuine pride in delivering quality work.

This is your opportunity to take ownership of meaningful work with a successful Australian business, where your expertise will be respected, your contribution will be visible and you will have the support to deliver.

With several newly awarded projects underway and a strong pipeline ahead, we are looking for a Contract Administrator to join our Energy, Oil & Gas division.

Based in our Spring Hill head office Monday to Friday, you will provide commercial and contractual support across two significant projects: Snowy 1.0 and the Future Generation Joint Venture’s Snowy 2.0 project.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused Contract Administrator position supporting the day-to-day commercial administration of both projects. You will work closely with the project and commercial teams to assist with contractual notices, maintain registers and correspondence, and administer progress claims, variations and other contractual requirements.

The position will suit someone with contract administration experience who is looking to further develop their commercial and contractual capability. You will have the chance to take ownership of day-to-day responsibilities, strengthen your understanding of project contracts and gain valuable experience across a broad range of commercial activities.
