Senior Contract Administrator

Cadstruct Recruitment have partnered with a growing, family-owned commercial builder delivering retail, industrial and commercial projects for some of Australia’s largest property groups. They’re looking for a Senior Contract Administrator to take ownership of the commercial side of their projects and grow with the business.

The projects

Our client delivers new build and refurbishment projects, typically $5m–$20m, across retail, industrial and commercial sectors. Their client base includes major REITs and a strong core of repeat clients. You’ll start on a mix of commercial and large-format retail projects already underway, with a pipeline of work secured into 2027 and 2028 and further projects in planning beyond that. What matters most is a CA who takes ownership, stays ahead of the work, and wants to be part of the business for the long haul.

What you’ll do

Manage the full contract administration function across your projects, covering head contract administration, subcontract procurement, cost reporting, variations, progress claims and forecasting. You’ll work closely with a Senior Project Manager who is stepping into a broader leadership role, so you’ll be trusted to run the CA side with confidence and minimal oversight. As the workload grows,



you’ll help shape commercial processes and contribute to tendering and procurement on upcoming projects. You’ll also build strong relationships with subcontractors, consultants and clients, keeping documentation tidy and the commercial position clear at all times.

What you’ll need

- Senior Contract Administrator experience with an established retail or industrial builder
- A tertiary qualification in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying or similar
- Strong commercial discipline across head contracts, subcontracts, variations and cost reporting
- A tidy, organised approach with the drive to take ownership and get stuck in
- A cooperative, practical personality suited to a close-knit team
- Availability to start within the next few weeks
- Experience with REIT or major retail clients highly regarded but not essential

Why you’ll want to work here

- A growing builder with a large secured pipeline of work
- Quality retail and industrial projects for some of Australia’s leading property groups
- A close-knit, down-to-earth culture where your contribution is noticed
- A genuine long-term opportunity to become a key part of the leadership team as the business grows
