About CE Group

CE Group is a growing Australian electrical engineering, construction and manufacturing business delivering complex projects across the infrastructure, energy, resources, industrial and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Our continued growth has created an opportunity for an experienced Contracts Administrator to join our commercial team and support project delivery across the broader CE Group business.

Why join CE Group?

This is an opportunity to take on a broad, delivery-focused role within a growing business and gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of technically complex projects.

You will work directly with experienced commercial and project leaders, contribute throughout the full project lifecycle and have genuine scope to strengthen commercial outcomes across the wider CE Group.

About The Role

Based at our Yatala office and reporting to the Commercial Manager, this role has a strong downstream focus, supporting the formation, administration and close-out of subcontract and supply agreements across CE Group’s project portfolio.

You will work closely with project managers, engineers, procurement, finance and operational teams to ensure subcontractors are properly engaged, contractual obligations are clearly established and commercial performance is actively managed throughout delivery.

The role will also provide broader post-award support across head-contract obligations, claims, variations, payments, notices and project close-out. It is not primarily focused on estimating, tendering or preconstruction.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare subcontract and supply agreements, scopes of work, pricing schedules and supporting contract documentation.
• Ensure relevant head-contract obligations, risks and compliance requirements are appropriately flowed down to subcontractors and suppliers.
• Coordinate subcontractor approvals, execution, insurances, licences, securities and other pre-commencement requirements.
• Administer subcontractor performance, including progress claims, variations, extension of time requests, directions, breaches and contractual correspondence.
• Prepare practical completion certificates, deeds of release, final accounts and retention or security releases.
• Maintain accurate registers and records while supporting project reporting, commercial risk management and contract close-out.

About you

• Demonstrated contracts administration experience within a construction, engineering, industrial or project delivery environment.
• Strong practical experience forming and administering downstream subcontracts and managing subcontractor performance.
• Experience assessing progress claims, variations and extension of time requests and preparing contractual notices.
• The ability to interpret head contracts and translate relevant obligations into downstream agreements and practical delivery requirements.
• Strong commercial writing, stakeholder-management, organisation and document-control skills.
• A relevant qualification or experience across electrical, infrastructure, energy, resources, industrial or manufacturing projects will be highly regarded.

If you are a practical and commercially minded Contracts Administrator who understands how to manage subcontractors throughout the full delivery lifecycle, we would like to hear from you.
