Job description

A well-regarded Sydney commercial construction contractor is looking for a junior to mid-level Contract Administrator to join their team. They work across a broad range of commercial project types including office fitout, education, hospitality, and community projects. Good work, good people, and a team where you'll actually be supported and developed.

This is not a role where you disappear into a structure. You'll be working closely with experienced PMs and senior CAs, getting hands‑on involvement across the full project lifecycle from early stages through to handover.

The Role:

Supporting project managers with contract administration across a range of commercial projects

Preparing and issuing subcontract packages, RFIs, and variation notices

Assessing progress claims and payment schedules

Maintaining project documentation, registers, and correspondence

Liaising with subcontractors, consultants, and site teams to keep projects moving

About You:

One to four years of experience in a CA or project administration role

Background in any area of commercial construction, fitout, or refurbishment

Studying or holding a degree in construction management is well regarded

Organised, detail-focused, and keen to grow your commercial skills

Sydney based

The Company:

An established commercial contractor with a strong and varied project pipeline across Sydney. They work across multiple sectors so no two projects are the same. The team is close-knit, the processes are solid, and the people who join tend to stay. You'll be known here, supported here, and given real responsibility as you develop.

What's on Offer:

Exposure across a range of commercial construction sectors

A team that invests in the people around them

Real career progression without the politics of a large contractor
