We are seeking an experienced Construction Contract Administrator to support the successful delivery of major roadway and highway infrastructure projects. This role will be responsible for administering construction contracts from award through to completion, ensuring that contractual, commercial, financial, and procedural requirements are consistently met. The successful candidate will work closely with project managers, engineers, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and relevant authorities to promote effective contract performance and timely resolution of issues.
Key responsibilities will include preparing, reviewing, and maintaining contract documentation; monitoring compliance with contract conditions, specifications, drawings, and project procedures; managing correspondence, notices, claims, variations, extensions of time, payment applications, and change orders; and maintaining accurate records of approvals, instructions, progress, costs, and risks. You will support the assessment and negotiation of contractor claims, assist with cost reporting and forecasting, track deliverables and milestones, and contribute to the preparation of progress reports and contract close-out documentation. The role will also involve identifying potential commercial or contractual risks, escalating issues appropriately, and helping ensure that works are delivered safely, to the required quality standards, within budget, and in accordance with the approved programme.

Experience with contract management systems, document control platforms, and standard office software will be advantageous. A relevant qualification in construction management, quantity surveying, engineering, law, business, or a related discipline is preferred. The successful applicant will be proactive, detail-oriented, commercially aware, and capable of managing competing priorities while building effective working relationships across multidisciplinary project teams.
