Contract Administrator - Major Energy & Infrastructure Project

- Immediate / ASAP Start | Contract through to February 2027 (View to Permanent)

- Brisbane CBD Location | Hybrid Working (3 Days Office / 2 Days WFH)

- Competitive Hourly Rate ($100 - $114/hr + Super)

The Opportunity We are partnering with a high-profile delivery entity on one of Queensland's flagship energy and infrastructure projects. We are seeking a couple of proactive Contract Administrators to join their team for an immediate start.

Running initially through to February 2027 with genuine scope to transition into a permanent role, this is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a landmark mega-project and help shape how its commercial administration operates.

What You'll Be Doing:
My client is looking for a true "doer"-rolling up your sleeves to manage end-to-end commercial and contract administration while helping bring structure to an evolving project environment:

- Procurement & Tendering: Prepare tender documentation, scopes of work, and contract schedules; manage Requests for Proposal (RFPs), evaluate submissions, and assist with contract award across early works, high-voltage infrastructure, civil works, remote accommodation, Consultancy Agreements, O&M;, Owner's Engineering, and Generator packages.

- Post-Award Administration: Manage day-to-day contract compliance, correspondence, notices, time bars, and deliverables across multiple suppliers and tier-one contractors.

- Claims & Variations: Assess, negotiate, and process contractor progress claims, variations, and Extensions of Time (EOTs) in accordance with contract terms and project budgets.

- Commercial Governance & Probity:



Maintain accurate contract and variation registers, enforce risk controls, and ensure adherence to public sector probity, local content, and Indigenous participation commitments-proactively asking questions and suggesting practical solutions where formal governance is still being established.

- Stakeholder & Interface Coordination: Liaise effectively with internal project controls, engineering teams, legal advisors, finance (Oracle), key utility interfaces, and external contractors to resolve commercial issues early.

About You

- Qualifications: Tertiary qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Commerce, Law, or a related discipline.

- Experience: 5-8 years' client-side or tier-one contractor experience in contract administration across major energy, high-voltage transmission, civil infrastructure, rail, or resources projects.

- Contract Knowledge: Practical working knowledge of Australian Standard contracts

- Attributes: A practical, self-starting "doer" with high attention to detail, strong commercial negotiation skills, and the confidence to ask the right questions and thrive in a quick-paced, greenfield mega-project environment.

- Availability: Immediately available (or on short notice) with full Australian working rights (standard probity, reference, and background checks apply).
