$170k-$190k package

Holding a Bachelor of Science in Quantity Surveying and Construction Management, this highly skilled Senior Contracts Administrator has built a strong career over the past decade in contract administration, cost management, and project delivery. Beginning his career as a Quantity Surveyor, he gained valuable experience in Tier 1 environments before transitioning into contract administration in the local market, working for Tier 3 builders. With a proven track record of managing commercial and industrial projects, he has spent the past two years operating as a Senior Contracts Administrator within the industrial project space.

Having worked across a diverse portfolio of projects over a 14 year career, he has played a pivotal role in the successful delivery of multi-tenancy retail developments, high-value industrial warehouses, aged care facilities, and large-scale commercial buildings. His experience includes managing projects ranging from $10M to $25M locally (part of a team on multiple $100M+ projects in the middle east), ensuring cost efficiencies, mitigating risks, and driving value through change management and subcontractor negotiations. Throughout these projects, he has consistently delivered results by implementing robust contract administration practices and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships.

In his current role, he has been responsible for overseeing procurement strategies, assessing variations, managing financial forecasting, and ensuring compliance with contractual obligations. His ability to navigate complex contract negotiations, identify opportunities for value engineering, and maintain accurate cost reporting has been instrumental in project success. Additionally, he has a strong mentoring background, supporting and training junior staff to build capability within the team. Colleagues regard him as a reliable and detail-oriented professional with a strong work ethic and the ability to perform under pressure.

With a solid foundation in contract administration and a clear trajectory towards contract management, he is well-suited for Senior Contracts Administrator positions. His expertise in financial reporting, change management, and cost control makes him an ideal fit for mid to large-scale commercial and industrial projects within Tier 2 and Tier 3 construction companies.
