Job description

Junior Contract Administrator | Developer-Builder

QNY | Gold Coast | Full-Time

Build your career from both sides of the table.

QNY is a Gold Coast-based developer-builder delivering high-quality, design-led residential projects from acquisition and design through construction, completion and handover.

We are looking for a Junior Contract Administrator with a minimum of 2 years’ relevant construction experience to join our growing delivery team.

This is not a traditional junior CA role. You’ll work across live projects alongside our construction and development teams, gaining exposure to the commercial, design and delivery decisions that take a project from concept through to completion.

The Role

Working closely with our Project Managers, Contract Administrators and site team, you will assist with:

• Subcontractor procurement, tendering and trade letting
• Preparing scopes of work and subcontract documentation
• Progress claims, variations and payment schedules
• Cost reporting, forecasting and procurement registers
• Reviewing subcontractor quotations and identifying scope gaps
• RFIs, project correspondence and document control
• Design and consultant coordination
• Supporting the site team with procurement and commercial matters
• Defects, project close-out and final accounts

This is a hands-on, project-based role with regular site involvement. We want you to understand how projects are designed, procured, built and commercially managed — not simply process paperwork from behind a desk.

About You

To be considered, you will have:

• Minimum 2 years’ relevant construction industry experience
• Experience with a developer-builder, head contractor or commercial builder
• Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering or similar qualification, completed or underway
• Strong Excel and general computer skills
• Good commercial awareness and attention to detail
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Confidence dealing with subcontractors, consultants and project teams
• A proactive attitude and willingness to take ownership

Experience within a Tier 2 or Tier 3 construction environment will be highly regarded but is not essential.
