Job description

Exemplo Constructions is a Melbourne-based commercial builder delivering projects across the education, health and community sectors — often in complex, live environments where the buildings stay in use while we build around them. We're a NAWIC member and hold ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 certification, and our project list includes work for the likes of Melbourne Girls Grammar, Monash University, and several Victorian councils.

We're a tight-knit team, and we're looking for a Contract Administrator who wants to be part of it — someone who'll get genuine site-based exposure, work closely with our Project Manager and Site Manager, and grow into bigger opportunities as the business does. We have a pipeline of projects due to commence in the last quarter of this year, so we're looking to fill this role soon. As a proud NAWIC member, we're advertising this role through the NAWIC network and warmly encourage women in construction to apply.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting projects from planning through to completion — contract administration and site coordination in equal measure
• Developing and monitoring budget forecasts, flagging risks and opportunities early
• Coordinating with subcontractors and consultants to keep projects moving
• Attending site meetings and providing administrative support to the delivery team
• Working closely with our Project Manager and Site Manager throughout each project

What you will bring

• Minimum 3-5 years' experience in a similar Contract Administrator role
• A Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Architecture, Engineering, Quantity Surveying or Construction
• Strong analytical skills and a methodical, detail-oriented approach
• The flexibility to pick up different tasks as a small team requires
• A Construction Induction (White) Card and First Aid Certificate
• A current driver's licence and your own vehicle (site travel required)

Why Exemplo

This is a genuine opportunity to build a career with a growing commercial builder, hands-on site experience, a supportive team, and real scope to take on more responsibility as you develop.
