Contract Administrator

Brisbane | Commercial & Mixed-Use Construction | Full Time

From Design Table to Site Handover — Own the Journey

Our client is a Queensland-owned construction company with a growing reputation across commercial, industrial, health, aged care, education and retail sectors throughout South East Queensland and Northern NSW. Their edge? Genuine early contractor involvement, a design-and-construct approach, and a track record of delivering complex, high-end builds — all built on strong relationships and an even stronger project pipeline.

The Opportunity

Here's a rare one: a Contract Administrator role where you're in from the ground floor. You'll join a mixed-use commercial development — think service station, childcare centre and retail while it's still in detailed design, and see it through to site handover as construction kicks off in the next few months.

Starting office-based, you'll gradually move on-site as the project progresses, giving you exposure across the full project lifecycle rather than jumping in mid-build.

What You'll Be Doing

• Keeping the project on track against programme, budget and quality benchmarks
• Acting as the go-between for the project team, client reps and design consultants
• Preparing and managing subcontracts — scopes, variations, progress claims
• Running RFIs, procurement schedules and contract documentation through design
• Keeping cost control and budget tracking tight across the board
• Championing a strong safety culture on-site and in the office

What You'll Bring

• Background as a Contract Administrator on commercial, retail or mixed-use projects
• Bonus points for fuel/service station or QSR retail experience (not essential)
• Confidence working across both design and construction phases
• Sharp communication and organisational instincts
• Ready to start within the next ~8 weeks

Why This Role Stands Out

• Be part of a project from concept through to completion — not just another mid-project handover
• A clear, structured path from office to site
• Join a tight-knit, collaborative team with a builder on the rise in QLD
