Senior Contracts Administrator – Flexible 20 Hours Per Week

Roelandts Group Pty Ltd trading as Roelandts Contracting
Richlands, Brisbane QLD
Casual | Approximately 20 hours per week | Office based

Roelandts Contracting is an established Queensland contractor operating across demolition, earthworks, transport and recycling.

We are looking for an experienced Contracts Administrator or Senior Contracts Administrator to join our small office team at Richlands on a casual basis for approximately 20 hours per week.

This role is designed for someone who has solid commercial and contracts experience but no longer wants the workload or pressure that often comes with a full-time Tier 1 or Tier 2 construction environment.

It may particularly suit someone who is semi-retired, consulting between projects, stepping back from a demanding senior role, or simply looking for a more balanced working week while remaining involved in the industry.

We are flexible around how the approximately 20 hours are structured and are more interested in finding the right person than forcing the role into a rigid timetable.

This is an office-based position at our Richlands office and is not a work-from-home role at this stage. You will work closely with management and our project team in a small, practical office environment where issues can be discussed and resolved quickly.

The role

You will assist with the commercial and contractual management of our projects, including:

- Reviewing head contracts, subcontracts, scopes, exclusions and key contractual obligations

- Preparing and managing progress claims

- Identifying, pricing and administering variations

- Preparing contractual notices and extensions of time where required

- Monitoring project costs, committed costs and forecast margins

- Managing subcontractor and supplier commercial matters

- Reviewing purchase orders, subcontract agreements and supplier claims

- Maintaining variation, claim and contract registers

- Managing RFIs, instructions,



contractual correspondence and supporting documentation

- Assisting with budgets and cost-to-complete reporting

- Monitoring waste/disposal costs, transport, plant hire, subcontractor costs and other major project expenses

- Assisting with final accounts, retention releases and project close-out

- Ensuring project commercial records are complete and well maintained

About you

Ideally, you will have:

- Strong experience as a Contracts Administrator or Senior Contracts Administrator within construction, civil, demolition or a related contracting environment

- A sound understanding of construction contracts and commercial risk

- Experience with variations, progress claims, EOTs and subcontractor administration

- Strong written communication and attention to detail

- The confidence to work directly with owners and senior management

- The ability to work independently and provide practical commercial advice

- A preference for working in a smaller, hands-on business environment

Experience within demolition, civil construction or specialist contracting would be highly regarded, but it is not essential for the right person.

Hours and remuneration

This is a casual role of approximately 20 hours per week.

The hours can be structured flexibly by agreement.

The hourly rate will be negotiated based on experience and capability. We are prepared to pay appropriately for a senior person who can bring genuine commercial value to the business.

Why this role may suit you

This role offers the opportunity to stay involved in interesting construction and demolition projects without the pressure and workload generally associated with a full-time Senior Contracts Administrator role.

You will be part of a small office team with direct access to decision-makers and the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the commercial performance of the business.

If you have substantial contracts experience and are looking for a flexible, practical role where your experience will be valued, we would like to hear from you.
