Your Job

You will initially join a landmark luxury apartment development in Brisbane valued at $100m+, managing the commercial administration of the penthouse component of the project. This will involve working closely with senior project leadership and coordinating with high-end trades and suppliers to deliver the most premium elements of the development.

• Administer variations, progress claims and cost reporting
• Work closely with project management and site teams to maintain commercial control of the project
• Assist in maintaining programme and commercial outcomes across the project lifecycle
• Support project delivery from early works, construction through to completion.

Your Experience

• 5+ years' experience as a Contracts Administrator within commercial or apartment construction
• Experience working on apartment, mixed-use or complex commercial projects
• Strong understanding of subcontract procurement and cost control
• Ability to manage subcontractor relationships professionally and collaboratively
• High attention to detail with strong commercial acumen
• Comfortable working within experienced teams where accountability and ownership are expected

Your Career

This role provides a genuine opportunity to work on some of Brisbane's most technically detailed apartment projects while developing into a senior commercial professional.

You will be supported by experienced leaders, exposed to high-end construction outcomes and given the responsibility to manage your own project within a business known for its quality, integrity and long-term industry relationships.

If you are an experienced Contracts Administrator looking to progress your career within a respected apartment builder, this opportunity is worth exploring.
