Contract Administrator – Major Roads Project | Melbourne

$160K – $170K + Super | Tier 1 Delivery Partner | Long-Term Program of Works

It’s not every day you get the chance to help shape one of Victoria’s most significant transport programs. This is one of those opportunities.

We’re representing a major infrastructure delivery partner involved in a multi-billion-dollar roads program — a long-term commitment that will transform connectivity across Melbourne’s outer corridor. They’re looking for a skilled Contract Administrator to join their commercial team, working alongside Project Managers, Engineers, and a high-performing leadership group.

The Role

As part of this major roads alliance, you’ll take responsibility for contract management across civil, structural, and services packages — ensuring accuracy, compliance and best-for-project outcomes.

You’ll manage head contract obligations, negotiate with subcontractors, and drive commercial discipline across your package — while contributing to a culture that values collaboration, integrity and performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare, review and administer subcontract agreements, variations, and progress claims.

• Support the Project Manager in forecasting, cost control and financial reporting.

• Maintain strong relationships with subcontractors and consultants to ensure timely delivery.

• Ensure full compliance with head contract terms, project schedules, and commercial governance.

• Assist with risk assessment, procurement strategies and value-engineering initiatives.

About You

You’re a confident, detail-driven Contract Administrator who thrives in a busy project environment. You’ll likely bring:

• Experience on major civil or road infrastructure projects (Tier 1 or Tier 2 level).

• Solid knowledge of head contract and subcontract administration.

• Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills.

• A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence and solve problems constructively.

What’s on Offer

• Join one of Victoria’s most high-profile infrastructure programs.

• Be part of a high-performing team where commercial discipline drives project success.

• Career development pathways into Senior CA or Commercial Manager level.

• Competitive salary package and long-term project security.

  
  

If you’re ready to take the next step in your infrastructure career — and want to be part of a project that truly shapes Victoria’s future — we’d love to hear from you.
