Ready to Join a Business Where Your Contribution Is Genuinely Valued?

Are you an experienced Contracts Administrator who understands the full scope of a construction project, not simply the paperwork?

Do you take ownership, communicate confidently and stay across contracts, costs, variations and deadlines without needing to be constantly followed up?

MJM Recruit has partnered with a long-established commercial construction business delivering quality projects across Queensland.

This is an opportunity to join a close-knit, experienced team where trust, accountability and a hands-on approach are genuinely valued. The successful person can commence immediately or in the New Year.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Company Director, you will work closely with the Project Manager and site teams across the full project lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Preparing, reviewing and administering contracts and subcontract agreements
- Managing variations, registers, project documentation and correspondence
- Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, purchase orders and deliveries
- Preparing progress claims and assessing subcontractor payment claims
- Monitoring budgets, project costs, commitments and deliverables
- Conducting cost analysis and maintaining accurate financial records
- Ensuring subcontractors and suppliers comply with contractual terms
- Liaising with clients, consultants, architects, trades and suppliers
- Attending project and site meetings when required
- Maintaining permits, compliance and safety documentation
- Identifying issues early and working with the team to find practical solutions
- Supporting continuous improvement across systems and processes

- Experience with Procore, BuildPass/HammerTech or Microsoft Project would be highly regarded
- Integrity, reliability and a positive, hands-on attitude

Most importantly, you are looking for a long-term opportunity with a respected builder where your hard work will be recognised and your career can continue to develop.

What’s on Offer?

- Immediate or new year commencement
- Modern offices in Eight Mile Plains
