Contracts Administrator Residential Construction

Requirements<\/h3>

Most construction administration roles still expect you to sit in traffic for hours each week just to complete work that could easily be done remotely. 
<\/p>

This role is different.<\/b> 
<\/p>

A growing residential home builder in South East Queensland is expanding its operations team and is looking for an experienced Contracts Administrator to play a key role in preparing projects for construction. 
<\/p>

This is a fully remote position designed for someone who thrives working independently, takes pride in producing accurate work and enjoys the autonomy that comes with a results driven environment. 
<\/p>

Rather than spending hours each day commuting, this position is designed for someone who would prefer to invest that time into becoming highly effective in their role, continuing to grow professionally and enjoying more time in their personal life. 
<\/p>

The builder itself has built a reputation for quality, precision and doing things properly. 
<\/p>

The business is now experiencing strong growth and increasing contract volumes, with plans to significantly expand build numbers over the coming years. That growth is being supported by strong systems, clear documentation and operational discipline to ensure quality remains consistent as the company scales.
<\/p>

 Every home begins with the contract. 
<\/p>

And the person in this role ensures that contract is right. 
<\/p>

If you are someone who takes pride in getting the details right and enjoys knowing every project starts with a properly prepared contract, this role will suit you well. 
<\/p>

This role requires previous experience working with residential building contracts for a home builder. Candidates without residential construction experience will not be considered. 
<\/p>

About the Role<\/b>
<\/p>

 The Contracts Administrator is responsible for preparing and managing all contract documentation before projects move into pre construction. 
<\/p>

Working closely with the operations team, you will ensure that contracts, specifications and supporting documentation are accurate, complete and aligned with the agreed scope of work. 
<\/p>

This role acts as a key checkpoint between sales and construction, ensuring every project begins with a properly prepared contract foundation.
