The Opportunity:

At Yellowstone, we’re the leading construction business focused on delivering large-scale, high-profile landscaping projects. We’re taking the next step in our evolution and are looking for a Contract Administrator to bring the next level of professionalism to our systems and reporting. In this role you’ll work alongside the key leaders of the business and be involved in setting up and refining the processes to consolidate our position as the ‘top choice’ landscaper for many of Melbourne’s finest new parks and play spaces. If you’ve cut your teeth on mid-sized commercial construction projects and want to be part of creating new systems (not just following them), this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities:

· Review, negotiate, and administer landscaping construction contracts, ensuring compliance with project objectives and legal requirements

· Monitor project progress against contractual milestones, addressing any discrepancies or issues

· Prepare, review, and submit project-related claims, ensuring timely resolution and payment

· Process progress claims and variations, adhering to contractual obligations and timelines

· Set up and maintain essential project documentation, including job files, drawing and contract registers

· Collaborate with the Project Managers, tendering team, clients, and subcontractors to ensure clear understanding and adherence to contract terms

· Assist in the management and tracking of project expenditure against the budget

What We're Looking For:

· Minimum 2-3 years of experience in a Contract Administrator role. You may come from the residential, commercial or even landscaping sector, but of more importance are your well-honed contract administration processes and procedures.

· Strong understanding of tendering, construction contracts, procurement processes, specifications and legal compliance

· Exceptional negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills

· Detail-oriented, with a proactive approach to problem-solving and process improvement

· A very high level of proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite, especially Excel. We use Buildertrend software as our business management software, so any experience in this would be beneficial

· Valid driver's license

What We Offer:

· A competitive remuneration package, reflective of experience and expertise

· Opportunities for professional development and career advancement

· A collaborative and supportive work environment, committed to innovation and teamwork

· Chance to contribute to impactful community projects, including our "Backyard Blitz" and our “Playgrounds for Pacific Rim Schools” volunteering initiatives

· Based in our Ferntree Gully office, with some travel required to sites in the east, south-east and north-west regions around Melbourne
