If you\'re a Contract Administrator looking to build a long-term career in Ballarat with an established builder that genuinely builds, rather than simply manages construction, this opportunity is worth a conversation.
We\'re partnering with one of Victoria\'s most established privately owned builders, a business with more than 80 years of history, $180M+ in annual construction turnover and over 100 direct employees. Despite its size and history, the business remains family-owned and hands-on, with senior leaders actively involved in project delivery and the continued growth of the company.
What Stands Out About This Business
- $180M+ annual construction turnover
- More than 80 years of construction history
- Privately owned and family-led
- Strong and consistent regional project pipeline
- Over 100 directly employed staff
- In-house construction & manufacturing capabilities
- Projects across multiple commercial sectors
- Hands-on senior leadership
- Strong staff loyalty and retention
- Genuine long-term opportunity in Ballarat
One of the biggest points of difference is their in-house construction and manufacturing capability. This gives project teams greater control over programme, quality, cost and supply chain, while also creating a culture of genuine construction knowledge throughout the business.
The Opportunity Due to a strong pipeline of upcoming work, they\'re looking to add a Contract Administrator to their Ballarat team.
Team Structure
You\'ll work within a well-resourced project team consisting of:
- Project Manager
- Contract Administrator
- Project Coordinator
- OH\&S
Responsibilities
You\'ll gain exposure across the full commercial delivery of projects, including:
- Procurement and subcontractor management
- Cost reporting and forecasting
- Variations and progress claims
- Contract administration
- Client and subcontractor management
- Design coordination
- Supporting projects from procurement through to completion
The business delivers across health, education, retail, commercial, industrial, warehouse, government and civic projects, providing plenty of variety as your career develops.
About You
- Contract Administration experience within commercial construction
- Strong communication and organisational skills
- A good understanding of procurement and commercial processes
- A genuine willingness to learn and develop
- An interest in building a long-term career within the Ballarat region
Experience with systems such as Jobpac, Payapps, Hammertech, Aconex or ProcurePro would be beneficial but isn\'t essential.
Salary is experience dependent, with the business prepared to pay well to secure the right person.
