Job description

Fulton Hogan is recruiting a senior contracts administrator to a Defence infrastructure project on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, in Australia’s Indian Ocean Territory. The post is based in Perth and worked offsite, and the advert puts project certainty through to the end of 2029.

The job sits inside an Integrated Managing Contractor engagement model, reporting to the commercial manager, and carries ownership of selected upstream commercial functions together with the downstream administration of substantial packages of civil and infrastructure works.

The holder leads the delivery of construction, airfield and enabling works packages from planning through to commissioning and handover, drives the safety, quality, programme and commercial outcomes across that scope, and manages the subcontractors and supply chain partners delivering it.

Coordinating project interfaces, resources and several work fronts at once is part of it, as is identifying and mitigating project risk and resolving issues as they arise, and seeing that the works accord with the project specifications, the contractual requirements and the applicable standards.

Fulton Hogan asks for an established senior contracts administrator with a relevant tertiary qualification, commercial discipline, and the capacity to lead and support a wider delivery team, ideally with the ambition of a project commercial manager’s role. Experience of Defence, aviation, infrastructure or remote projects, and of the managing contractor model, is regarded. The advert describes the package as competitive and publishes no figure.
