We are thrilled to partner with Legacy Property on The Works, Corrimal, an iconic master planned urban renewal project transforming the former Corrimal Coke Works site into a vibrant new community of over 800 dwellings. This landmark development in the Illawarra region celebrates the site’s rich history, marrying heritage architecture with contemporary living in a way that truly stands out.

Stage 1 of The Works will deliver 179 modern apartments across five buildings, seamlessly blending cutting-edge design with the site’s industrial heritage. Currently in the early works and procurement phase, we’re finalising key trade packages and have commenced work onsite, an exciting time to come on board and help bring this vision to life. With multiple stages ahead and a strong pipeline of work in the Illawarra region, joining Growthbuilt on this project means long-term opportunities to grow your career as you help build the communities where we live, work and play.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Contracts Administrator, you’ll work closely with our Senior Contracts Administrator and Project Manager to deliver the commercial and financial outcomes for The Works, Corrimal project. You’ll collaborate with our site delivery team, subcontractors, and key stakeholders to support cost efficiency, contract compliance, and subcontractor performance on this landmark project.

You’ll be responsible for end-to-end subcontract administration, while supporting project leadership with head contract management and financial reporting, all with the guidance and mentorship of senior team members.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Procurement: Maintain a project procurement schedule, prepare tender packages, scopes of work and comparisons, and procure subcontractor and supplier packages in line with the schedule.
• Subcontract Administration: Manage subcontract agreements, including performance tracking, claims, variations, RFIs and notices, protecting Growthbuilt’s commercial position while fostering positive relationships.
• Claims Assessment & Payments: Assess and process subcontractor payment claims in line with site progress, agreed scopes, and commercial compliance, ensuring any payment schedules are issued in strict accordance with the Security of Payments Act where applicable.
• Project Reporting: Prepare monthly project review submissions, including EOT registers, forecast cost schedules, variation schedules, cash flow forecasts and risk registers, with oversight from the Senior CA, and contribute to presentations to senior leadership.
• Cost Control & Value Engineering: Identify opportunities for savings or value-add through careful scope management, without compromising quality, safety or client outcomes.
• Project Delivery: Work closely with the Senior CA, Project Manager and site team to resolve any contractual issues quickly, keep the program on track, and maintain clear communication with the client team.
• Head Contract Support: Review entitlements and obligations under the Head Contract, and assist the Senior CA with preparing any variation submissions, EOTs and delay notices.
• Document Control: Ensure project records and documentation are maintained, including subcontractor quality and safety documentation in line with contract requirements.
• Mentoring: Provide guidance to graduates and cadets, supporting their professional growth and development.

This role is ideal for a rising star CA who is confident running their own procurement and reporting processes, but values collaboration and support as part of a broader commercial team. It’s an excellent opportunity to deepen your commercial expertise on a large, multi-stage pipeline of work and progress towards senior commercial leadership or project management roles in the future.

ABOUT YOU

You are a capable and highly driven Contract Administrator with the confidence to take on end-to-end processes while learning from senior colleagues. You’re detail-oriented, resilient, commercially savvy, and ready to step into a complex project environment.

• Ability to prepare financial reports, forecasts and support overall project cost management
• High-level stakeholder communication skills and the ability to foster strong subcontractor relationships

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Attractive salary package commensurate with experience, we value your expertise and will reward it.
• Hybrid work environment: While the role is based on-site in Corrimal (Illawarra), we support flexible work arrangements. For most of our CA’s this means working from site 3-4 days per week, and from home or our Woolloomooloo Head Office for the balance of days, depending on the project life cycle.
• Flexibility in how and when you work: we trust you to get the job done and understand the need for some give-and-take to help you perform at your best.
• Collaborative, well-resourced team: work with experienced construction professionals in a supportive environment. You’ll have the backing of a dedicated project team and head office support (estimating, engineering, design, and P&C teams) to set you up for success.
