Senior Contract Administrator | Retail-Industrial / Education / Health Projects

Commercial Construction

Melbourne

$160k - $180k package

With over 25 years of project management experience gained overseas (New Zealand) and locally here in Melbourne, this candidate is a seasoned Contracts Administrator and former Project Manager who offers exceptional long-term value to any commercial builder. Beginning their career in electrical installation and rising through site management into construction project management, they have delivered a broad portfolio of works from aviation and defence to healthcare, retail, and education. Most recently, they’ve worked in a senior CA role with a Tier 2 contractor, contributing to projects ranging from $18M to $62M.

They present as articulate, calm, and thoughtful—a strong communicator with natural leadership and process orientation. With hands-on knowledge in WHS, procurement, tendering, and lifecycle delivery, this candidate is a safe pair of hands who takes pride in detail and delivering high standards. They’ve been trusted to manage high-stakes, live environment builds (including hospital wards, airbases, and retail fit-outs) and have held responsibility for project controls, documentation systems, Green Star compliance, and stakeholder engagement across councils and government departments.

Now preparing to transition to a new role in Melbourne’s commercial building space, this candidate offers broad sector exposure, refined communication skills, and serious professional maturity. Now open to Senior Contracts Administration or Project Management roles in Victoria. Does require sponsorship (happy to fund and administer this process to ensure an easy ride for their next employer).
