Contracts Administrator | Renewable Energy & Electrical Infrastructure

About the Company

Talesca is partnering with an engineering and construction contractor delivering electrical infrastructure across Australia’s renewable energy and power sectors. Its capabilities span engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning across substations, transmission infrastructure and grid connections.

About the Project

This prospect will support the electrical infrastructure package on a major Queensland wind development. The scope includes substations, transmission infrastructure and underground electrical reticulation, with multiple subcontractor and equipment supply packages.

About the Role

You’ll manage the day-to-day administration of subcontract and supply agreements while supporting upstream head contract requirements, correspondence and claims. Working closely with the commercial and delivery teams, you’ll help protect contractual entitlements, manage changes and maintain accurate commercial records. We’re considering both intermediate and senior Contracts Administrators, with responsibilities aligned to experience.

Key Responsibilities (not limited to):

- Support procurement and subcontract formation, ensuring scope, obligations and commercial requirements are clearly documented.
- Administer subcontract and supply agreements, monitoring compliance and tracking contractual dates and deliverables.
- Review payment claims and coordinate the assessment of subcontractor and supplier variations.
- Support upstream head contract administration, including correspondence,



notices and records for variations, delay matters and extensions of time.
- Work with planning, cost control and delivery teams on progress, commitments and forecast changes, supporting commercial reporting and final accounts.

Skills & Experience

- Experience in contracts administration within construction, engineering, energy or infrastructure, including contractor-side Quantity Surveying backgrounds.
- Hands-on experience administering subcontract packages, assessing payment claims and managing variations.
- Understanding of head contract obligations, contractual notices, claims and extensions of time.
- Experience working on lump-sum construction contracts would be highly regarded, particularly where you’ve supported both upstream and downstream commercial matters.
- A relevant qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Engineering, Law, Business or a related field, along with strong communication skills and commercial awareness.

Why Join?

- Get involved in a major renewable energy project before construction ramps up.
- Gain exposure to electrical infrastructure packages across substations, transmission and underground reticulation.
- Contribute to both head contract and subcontract administration.
- Follow packages through procurement, delivery and closeout, working closely with commercial and construction teams.
- Apply your existing construction experience within renewables; previous wind project experience isn’t essential.
