Contracts Administrator

You may have been part of some big projects before, but this work is legacy-building.

This is your opportunity to broaden your experience and perspectives, step out of the confines of a standard project role and expand your scope to work with an interconnected ecosystem of industry professionals.

In this role, you'll:

Lead and support end-to-end contract administration activities, partnering with internal teams and suppliers to ensure strong performance, compliance, and continuous improvement across infrastructure projects. With a mix of strategic and operational responsibilities, you will provide expert commercial advice and help optimise contractors/supplier relationships and outcomes.

 More specifically you will:

•   Provide expert support in contract administration and management, including variations and documentation

•   Develop and implement contract management processes on assigned projects to improve compliance and value for money

•   Deliver timely advice, reporting and insights on contract performance, risks and trends

•   Contribute to tenders, procurements, evaluations and supplier negotiations

•   Monitor contract performance and drive continuous improvement initiatives

•   Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to resolve complex issues and embed best practice

•   Support efficient, cost-effective and safe service delivery through effective contract oversight

Place of work: Hybrid working arrangements in line with policy, with a primary hub at 4 Parramatta Square. This role requires attendance at assigned Western Sydney project sites 2-3 days per week, and this is a mandatory requirement of the position.
