Be the commercial conscience at the start of major infrastructure projects.
We’re representing a national infrastructure delivery firm seeking a Contract Administratorwith a front-end, pre-contracts focus. This role is embedded in early planning and procurement phases — where you’ll shape the commercial foundation before boots hit the ground.
If you enjoy spotting risk before it becomes a headline, ensuring scope is clear from the start, and managing variations with precision, this is the role for you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Leading contract administration during early project planning and procurement stages
- Reviewing tender submissions, scopes of work, and pre-contract documentation
- Supporting bid teams and commercial managers in the negotiation and execution of contracts
- Conducting checks and balances across contract inclusions, exclusions, and risk allocations
- Managing head contract obligations and supporting variation tracking from Day One
- Working closely with legal, project,
and estimating teams to align documentation with delivery intent
What You’ll Bring:
- Experience as a Contract Administrator, ideally with exposure to front-end or pre-contract phases
- Strong understanding of infrastructure contract types (GC21, AS4000, PPP, or similar)
- Ability to interpret scope documents and contracts, flagging inconsistencies early
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — from estimators to legal advisors
- A detail-oriented mindset and comfort working under tight timelines in the planning phase
- Qualifications in Construction Management, Law, Engineering, or similar
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Get involved early — influence the commercial setup before delivery begins
- Work with high-performing, cooperative commercial and legal teams
- Be part of large-scale infrastructure projects across transport, utilities, and civic works
- Great career pathway with a business that promotes from within
- Competitive salary, flexible arrangements, and long-term pipeline of work
