Contracts Administration | Projects & Trade Admin Ready to step into a contracts role with real ownership?

Whether you are already running contracts administration or have built strong admin skills inside a trade-based business, this is a role with genuine end-to-end exposure across live projects — and the support to grow into it.

About Connex Solutions Connex Solutions is an Adelaide head office based telecommunications and electrical services business delivering service and projects work across commercial and industrial sectors. With delivery offices in Adelaide and Melbourne, we are in a strong period of growth with further expansion forming part of our strategic direction. We are building out our commercial function to match — and this is a newly created role at the heart of it.

The Role This is a hands-on contracts administration role with exposure across the full project lifecycle; from scoping and subcontractor engagement through to progress claims, variations, and final account. You will report directly to the General Manager and work closely with our project managers and site teams, giving you visibility across both the commercial and delivery sides of the business. For the right person, this is an exceptional platform to grow into a senior contracts or commercial management career.
