Full Job Description

Looking for a Contracts Administrator role where your commercial judgement actually carries weight?

Join ttsBuilt and take ownership of contract administration on complex construction projects delivered for Tier 1 mining and construction clients across Australia.

Territory Trade Services (ttsBuilt) is a growing construction and maintenance business with a strong reputation for delivering work in remote, high-risk and operationally demanding environments. Our clients expect professionalism, precision and accountability — and so do we.

We're seeking an experienced Senior Contracts Administrator to join our Projects team at Marleston and play a critical role in protecting project outcomes, managing risk, and supporting successful delivery.

About the Role

Reporting to the General Manager – Operations & Projects, this is a senior role responsible for the commercial and contractual administration of active projects from mobilisation through to close‑out. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy and will be trusted to manage competing priorities in fast‑moving project environments.

Key responsibilities include:

End‑to‑end administration of head contracts and subcontracts
Managing progress claims, variations, EOTs, contractual notices and registers
Ensuring strict compliance with contractual requirements, timeframes and notice provisions
Coordinating all contract‑related start‑up documentation, approvals and insurances
Preparing accurate invoicing, progress claims and supporting documentation
Managing contract close‑out, certification, defects and handover documentation
Supporting cost control, forecasting, and commercial reporting
Working closely with Project Managers to resolve live commercial issues
Maintaining clear, defensible records suitable for Tier 1 client scrutiny

This role requires sound judgement, strong contract literacy, and the confidence to raise commercial issues early and clearly.

What You'll Get

Competitive salary up to $120,000 + Super, aligned to senior capability and experience
Exposure to Tier-1 mining and construction clients with a serious project pipeline
A high-trust role with real influence over commercial outcomes
Certified ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 management systems supporting consistent, defensible delivery
A supportive but commercially driven leadership team
A growing business with a strong pipeline of work

Who This Role Suits

A commercially astute Contracts Administrator who is comfortable operating in environments where mistakes are costly and expectations are high. You think commercially, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your role.

You will ideally bring:

Tertiary qualifications in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering or similar
Minimum 3–5 years' experience as a Contracts Administrator or Project Coordinator in commercial or industrial construction
Demonstrated experience managing variations, claims, EOTs and contractual correspondence
Strong understanding of contract conditions and risk allocation
Proven ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and stakeholders
Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills
High attention to detail and strong document control discipline

A National Police Check is required as part of our standard onboarding and client compliance requirements (we can assist with this).

Experience in mining‑adjacent projects, modular construction, or remote delivery environments will be highly regarded. A trades background or exposure to planning/cost systems (e.g. MS Project, Primavera) is also advantageous.

This role is not suitable for graduates or entry‑level candidates.

Eligibility

Unrestricted Australian working rights required. Visa sponsorship is not available.

ttsBuilt is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from qualified, experienced professionals from all backgrounds.

How to Apply

Please apply via Indeed with:

Your resume (maximum 2 pages), and
A short cover note (maximum 250 words)

In your cover note, please tell us one specific aspect of this role or of ttsBuilt that genuinely caught your attention, and why. There is no "right" answer. We are interested in your judgement, clarity of thought, and what draws you to this opportunity.

Applications that are concise, considered and role‑specific will stand out.

Applications that ignore this requirement will not be considered.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted directly, and soon, so don't delay in putting your application in.

No recruiters, please.

Pay: Up to $120,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
