The Role

As a Contracts Administrator, you’ll work closely with Project Managers on the financial, procurement, and contract management aspects of live projects within the health and education sectors.

The Builder

Located close to Melbourne's CBD, this well-known, established new build and refurb company specialises in medium sized projects for new builds, commercial fit-outs, and building renovation, often within the $5-$25M range but occasionally pricing projects to the value of $40M, and with aspirations to continue growing their average project value and establish themselves as a larger tier builder.

• Health/Medical
• Education
• Hospitality
• Commercial buildings
• Government & institutional

Are you suitable?

You’re likely to tick the following boxes:

• Experience working as a CA on health, education, or civic construction projects - for a Head Contractor (Buildings experience required, not Civil/Infrastructure) - required
• Must be based in Melbourne with Australian working rights (PR or Citizenship required)
• Strong communicator with a collaborative mindset and a solutions-focused attitude
• Secure longer term stints with former employers, highly prized!
