Contracts Administrator - Facilities Management

Early Works & Scope Management

Full-Time, Permanent

Be the commercial conscience at the start of major infrastructure projects.

We’re representing a national infrastructure delivery firm seeking a Contract Administratorwith a front-end, pre-contracts focus. This role is embedded in early planning and procurement phases — where you’ll shape the commercial foundation before boots hit the ground.

If you enjoy spotting risk before it becomes a headline, ensuring scope is clear from the start, and managing variations with precision, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading contract administration during early project planning and procurement stages
• Reviewing tender submissions, scopes of work, and pre-contract documentation
• Supporting bid teams and commercial managers in the negotiation and execution of contracts
• Conducting checks and balances across contract inclusions, exclusions, and risk allocations
• Managing head contract obligations and supporting variation tracking from Day One
• Working closely with legal, project, and estimating teams to align documentation with delivery intent

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience as a Contract Administrator, ideally with exposure to front-end or pre-contract phases
• Strong understanding of infrastructure contract types (GC21, AS4000, PPP, or similar)
• Ability to interpret scope documents and contracts, flagging inconsistencies early
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — from estimators to legal advisors
• A detail-oriented mindset and comfort working under tight timelines in the planning phase
• Qualifications in Construction Management, Law, Engineering, or similar

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Get involved early — influence the commercial setup before delivery begins
• Work with high-performing, collaborative commercial and legal teams
• Be part of large-scale infrastructure projects across transport, utilities, and civic works
• Great career pathway with a business that promotes from within
• Competitive salary, flexible arrangements, and long-term pipeline of work
