The Company

A highly regarded, privately owned Sydney builder with an exceptional track record delivering large-scale residential and mixed-use developments.

With decades of experience and thousands of apartments successfully delivered, they have established long-standing relationships with some of Australia's leading developers. The business combines the systems and project capability required to deliver major developments with a supportive, people-focused culture and genuine commitment to developing its staff.

With a significant pipeline of secured residential work across Sydney, they are now looking to add two Contract Administrators to their project teams.

The Opportunity

Two opportunities are available for experienced Contract Administrators to join the delivery teams on major Class 2 apartment developments:
  • $140M apartment development – Inner West
  • $190M apartment development – Northwest Sydney
These are substantial, technically complex residential projects offering exposure to major trade packages and the opportunity to work alongside experienced Project Managers, Senior CAs and site teams.

For a CA looking to build a career in major-project residential construction, this is an opportunity to gain genuine large-scale project experience within a business that has a strong track record of promoting and developing people internally.

The Role

Working closely with the Senior CA and Project Manager, you will be responsible for:
  • Procurement and letting of subcontractor and supplier packages
  • Preparing scopes of work and subcontract agreements
  • Managing variations, progress claims and payment schedules
  • Cost tracking, forecasting and assisting with monthly financial reporting
  • Reviewing drawings, specifications and project documentation
  • Managing RFIs and contractual correspondence
  • Liaising closely with subcontractors, consultants and site teams
  • Identifying commercial risks and assisting with project cost control
  • Supporting commercial close-out and final accounts
About You
  • Degree-qualified in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying or similar
  • 3+ years' experience as a Contract Administrator within construction
  • Apartment or large-scale residential experience highly regarded
  • Strong understanding of procurement, contracts and cost management
  • Confident managing subcontractor packages and commercial negotiations
  • Strong attention to detail with excellent communication skills
  • Ambitious and looking to develop within a major residential builder
In Return
  • Choose between major projects in the Inner West or Northwest
  • Work on apartment developments valued at $140M–$190M
  • Join an established builder with a substantial pipeline of secured residential work
  • Structured support from experienced Senior CAs, Project Managers and commercial leadership
  • Genuine career development and progression towards Senior Contract Administrator
  • Excellent exposure to major-project procurement and commercial management
