Senior Contract Administrator | Buildings & Infrastructure
Commercial Construction
Melbourne
$175k - $185k package
This candidate brings over 15 years of experience in contract administration and project delivery across commercial and infrastructure sectors, with a degree in Civil Engineering. Currently working with a Tier 1 contractor on high-profile transport infrastructure projects, he has previously led commercial administration for institutional, education, and aged care builds ranging from $7M to $35M.
In his recent role, he has managed complex subcontract packages, including bulk earthworks, structures, and services, on projects valued up to $800M. His responsibilities have included procurement, subcontract negotiations, scope creation, claims processing, and variation management. Prior to this, he worked on community and education developments, overseeing full contract lifecycles and financial performance. Earlier roles in boutique commercial builders and developers saw him handle mixed-use and residential projects.
He is described as thoughtful, calm, and commercially sharp, with a strong eye for detail and risk. His skill set spans negotiation, cost forecasting, and subcontractor engagement. Technically confident across Aconex, AutoCAD, and multiple cost control systems, he is motivated to return to the commercial building sector and grow into a Contracts Manager role.
Now open to Senior CA or Commercial roles with Tier 2 or upper Tier 3 builders delivering institutional, industrial, or education projects in the $10M–$50M range.
