Contract Administrator – Major Energy & Infrastructure Project
...Immediate / ASAP Start | Contract through to February 2027 (View to Permanent)
Brisbane CBD Location | Hybrid Working (3 Days Office / 2 Days WFH)
Competitive Hourly Rate ($100 – $114/hr + Super)
The Opportunity We are partnering with a high-profile delivery entity on one of Queensland’s flagship energy and infrastructure projects. We are seeking a couple of proactive Contract Administrators to join their team for an immediate start.
Running initially through to February 2027 with genuine scope to transition into a permanent role, this is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a landmark mega-project and help shape how its commercial administration operates.
What You’ll Be Doing:
My client is looking for a true "doer"—rolling up your sleeves to manage end-to-end commercial and contract administration while helping bring structure to an evolving project environment:
Procurement & Tendering: Prepare tender documentation, scopes of work, and contract schedules; manage Requests for Proposal (RFPs), evaluate submissions, and assist with contract award across early works, high-voltage infrastructure, civil works, remote accommodation, Consultancy Agreements, O&M, Owner’s Engineering, and Generator packages.
Post-Award Administration: Manage day-to-day contract compliance, correspondence, notices, time bars, and deliverables across multiple suppliers and tier-one contractors.
Claims & Variations: Assess, negotiate, and process contractor progress claims, variations, and Extensions of Time (EOTs) in accordance with contract terms and project budgets.
Commercial Governance & Probity: Maintain accurate contract and variation registers, enforce risk controls, and ensure adherence to public sector probity, local content, and Indigenous participation commitments—proactively asking questions and suggesting practical solutions where formal governance is still being established.
Stakeholder & Interface Coordination: Liaise effectively with internal project controls, engineering teams, legal advisors, finance (Oracle), key utility interfaces, and external contractors to resolve commercial issues early.
About You
Qualifications: Tertiary qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Commerce, Law, or a related discipline.
Experience: 5–8 years’ client-side or tier-one contractor experience in contract administration across major energy, high-voltage transmission, civil infrastructure, rail, or resources projects.
Contract Knowledge: Practical working knowledge of Australian Standard contracts
Attributes: A practical, self-starting "doer" with high attention to detail, strong commercial negotiation skills, and the confidence to ask the right questions and thrive in a fast-paced, greenfield mega-project environment.
Availability: Immediately available (or on short notice) with full Australian working rights (standard probity, reference, and background checks apply).
