Job description

2609 Consulting works with construction businesses across Australia, running the commercial and administrative side of their businesses so they can get on with building. We're hiring a Contracts Administrator to join us.

You will start embedded with one of our clients, a Canberra masonry subcontractor, running their contract administration end to end. As you find your feet, there's scope to broaden out across our other clients and to specialise in the parts of the work you're best at and enjoy most. We'd rather grow the role around a good person than lock you into a fixed box.

As a contracts administrator, your job is to use your knowledge of the construction process and 'I'll figure it out' attitude to make our client's life easier.

What you'll be doing:

• Assisting with progress claims, variations, and the back-and-forth that comes with them
• Tracking delays and EOTs, and keeping the records that back them up
• Programming and coordinating works against the head contractor's program
• Day to day head contractor relations
• Assisting with safety paperwork and compliance
• The general project admin that keeps a job moving
• Coming up with better ways to do things, and implementing them.

You’ll have senior management behind you, so you’re not figuring out the hard stuff alone. If you want to build real depth in construction contracts, this is a good place to do it.

Systems: Procore, Simpel, and whatever the head contractor runs, so you need to be comfortable picking up new platforms.

What we need from you:

• At least 2 years as a Contracts Administrator in construction.
• Australian citizenship - to work on secure projects
• The right attitude. We can teach systems and process. We can't teach someone to care about getting it right, chasing things down, and owning their work.
• Someone who communicates straight and doesn't let things slide.
• References we can call.

What's on offer:

• Full time, Canberra based, in the office and on site. Not a remote role.
• A great team with a
• Genuine progression, into other clients or into a specialty, as you grow with us.
