About the Role
Are you an experienced residential
Contracts Administrator
who understands the complete build journey and takes pride in guiding clients through every step?
We are a progressive, high-performing residential builder specialising in investment-grade homes across South East Queensland.
Due to a steady, high-volume project pipeline, we are seeking a client-focused, detail-driven
Contracts Administrator
to join our team in our office in the heart of the GC.
In this full-time, office-based role, you will take ownership of the full administrative construction lifecycle—from initial concept, sales handover, and preliminary agreements through to council approvals, progress claims, and final handover.
Key Responsibilities
End-to-End Client Coordination:
Act as the dedicated, trusted point of contact for investor clients, brokers, and channel partners, guiding them step-by-step from concept through to practical completion.
Pre-Construction & Approvals:
Coordinate soil tests, engineering reports, building approvals (BA), plumbing permits, and developer covenant approvals to ensure files achieve site-start status without delays.
Contract Preparation:
Prepare accurate QBCC residential building contracts, specification schedules, variations, and final contract packs.
Progress Claims & Financial Tracking:
Generate and issue progress stage claims (deposit, slab, frame, lock-up, fix, final), follow up on lending institution approvals, and coordinate receipt of authority-to-pay notices.
Liaison Across Teams:




Work collaboratively with estimating, drafting, and site supervisors to keep job files moving efficiently through every construction gate.
Client Updates & Handover:
Provide regular, transparent build updates, manage client variation requests, and coordinate pre-handover inspections and formal completion packs.
What We're Looking For
Industry Experience:
Proven track record in a Contracts Administrator or Client Liaison role within Australian residential construction (experience with volume, project, or investment builders is highly regarded).
Full-Lifecycle Knowledge:
Thorough understanding of the entire residential process—from sales handover, drafting, and approvals through to on-site stages and handover.
Contract & Compliance Acumen:
Solid working knowledge of QBCC residential contracts, stages, and statutory approval processes.
High-Level Client Care:
Exceptional interpersonal and written communication skills with the patience, clarity, and professionalism needed to guide first-time and seasoned property investors alike.
Organisational Rigour:
Impeccable attention to detail, capable of managing multiple active job files concurrently in a fast-paced environment.
Tech-Savvy:
Proficiency with residential construction management software (e.g., Buildxact, Buildertrend, ClickHome, or Framework) and the MS Office suite.
Why Join Us?
Competitive Remuneration:
$90,000 base + superannuation.
Negotiable for the right candidate
Streamlined Pipeline:
Backed by transparent systems, structured workflows, and an experienced operational team.
Stable, Growing Builder:
Enjoy job security within a stable business catering to the booming investment housing sector.
