COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our client is an independent, specialist cost and commercial advisory consultancy supporting major transport, utilities and civil infrastructure programmes across Australia. It works predominantly on the client side, helping project owners and delivery teams make sound commercial and contractual decisions on complex, high-value work.

The firm has earned its reputation through sharp technical thinking, measured judgement and advice that holds up in the real world. Clients come back because the team combines deep contractual knowledge with a practical understanding of how projects are actually delivered.

As demand for its services continues to grow, the consultancy is strengthening its Brisbane team with an experienced Contracts Advisor. It is a chance to join a respected specialist practice at a time when contractual expertise is increasingly central to successful infrastructure delivery.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT & PROJECTS

Some of the most valuable decisions on major infrastructure projects are made long before a dispute develops. Understanding obligations, spotting risk early and finding a practical way through difficult issues can shape the outcome of an entire project. In this role, you will be the person project teams turn to when contractual matters become complex.

You will advise on a range of major transport, utilities and civil infrastructure programmes, with involvement spanning procurement and contract formation through to contract administration, change management and dispute avoidance. The work is detailed, varied and genuinely consequential, with direct exposure to senior client stakeholders.

This is a particularly compelling move for a Senior Contracts Administrator or Contracts Manager who enjoys the detail of construction contracts but wants to apply that expertise in a more strategic, advisory capacity. You will work alongside highly experienced specialists in a straightforward,



supportive team where expertise is recognised and valued.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Interpret construction contracts, including obligations, entitlements and risk allocation
- Advise project owners and delivery teams on contract administration strategy and compliance
- Assess and negotiate variations, extensions of time and contractual claims
- Prepare commercial assessments, contractual correspondence and clear, practical recommendations
- Support procurement, contract formation and the management of ongoing contract performance
- Advise on dispute avoidance and the early, practical resolution of emerging issues
- Build trusted relationships with contractors, consultants and senior client stakeholders

WHAT YOU NEED

- Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Engineering, Law or a related discipline
- At least seven years’ experience in contracts administration, contract management or commercial advisory
- Experience on major transport, utilities, civil or engineering projects
- Sound understanding of construction contracts, claims, variations and extensions of time
- Familiarity with Australian standard forms such as AS4000 or AS2124, and with security of payment legislation (e.g. the BIF Act), is valuable
- Excellent written communication, negotiation and commercial problem-solving skills

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN A salary of up to $230K, negotiable depending on expertise. You will work with highly experienced specialists on challenging, high-profile projects and develop a recognised advisory skill set that will serve your career for the long term. If you know your way around a contract and can make complicated issues explicit, this is an opportunity to be valued for exactly that.
