SalaryContract Administrator / Contracts Manager- less hours than a builder
Your new company
Completely unique, a project management consultancy and Advisory Firm.
One of my favourite clients due to the uniqueness of what they do, providing their staff with something entirely different. These guys are an extremely experienced and well-networked property development and strategic Advisory Firm. Not only is the role different, the hours and work-life balance is far more attractive to your standard builder.
Your new role
Are you a Contract Administrator or Contracts Manager who enjoys the role but would love to remove some of the frustrations? Imagine working on the Developer, Consultancy side;
Not dealing with subcontractors
*getting into contracts at a higher level
*getting into the financials on developments
*less around variations
*More into consultancy scope rather than subcontractor scope
*tenders to major builders, not subcontractors
*simply less head banging!!
They offer a different overall service- dealing with clients from the outset of projects to improve the overall delivery throughout. Providing a strategic service upfront which makes projects more cost-effective and better outcomes overall. Their core business is front end development/project strategy and replanning whilst their PM function is an additional service they provide. Essentially, they provide full life cycle development services.
Your new role
They require a seasoned, career, passionate Senior Contract Administrator / Contracts Manager that wants to be the POC for all things commercial for this growing business. The long term vision is for this role to evolve to be the Commercial Manager. The role will see you being involved in the nicer side of projects, managing builders not subbies, more focus on cost reports, progress claims, consultancy agreements, less around variations.
Working closely with the clients your strong background with major Tier 1 or 2 builders will equip you to manage the commercials from a consultancy, advisory perspective. The projects will vary from schools, to apartments, health, education, a real range.
Everyone I have placed here are ex-Tier 1 or 2 builders.
What you'll need to succeed - as per the clients request - MUST HAVE
- A degree in a construction related field, engineering, QS, Construction Management
- 8 years+ working with a major Tier 1 or 2 builders here in Melbourne as a CA
- Minimum of 4 years with one builder-longevity
- You must be working directly at a builder currently,
- Currently, a senior CA or contracts manager
- Worked on similar type of projects and values $30m+
- Excellent communication skills
- Eastern suburbs' office location-more flexible working hours,
What you'll get in return is an opportunity to move into the best side of construction, the advisory space. Feedback from previous Tier 1 candidates placed is that role is genuinely completely different. The day to day role is just "nicer, with less head aches". Work-life balance is massive. No longer dealing with subbies, those early morning, late night calls, all those delivery headaches. Your role is more structured and manageable, therefore more enjoyable. Slightly intrigued, reach out to the below. Salary $160k- $200k+super
