With a strong reputation for delivering complex mechanical packages across some of Melbourne's most significant construction projects, the business continues to secure major projects and is looking to strengthen its commercial team with the addition of a capable C.A.
Working closely with Project Managers and the wider delivery team, you'll take ownership of the commercial and contractual administration of mechanical packages, ensuring projects are delivered in a commercially and operationally successful way.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Managing the commercial and contractual administration of mechanical services projects.
  • Reviewing head contracts, subcontract agreements and scope documentation.
  • Preparing, submitting and negotiating progress claims.
  • Managing variations, EOTs and contractual notices.
  • Monitoring project costs, budgets, cash flow and financial performance.
  • Managing subcontractor claims, payments and commercial negotiations.
  • Identifying commercial risks and opportunities throughout project delivery.
  • Working closely with Project Managers to maintain strong commercial outcomes.
  • Assisting with monthly cost reporting, forecasting and project reconciliations.

To be successful in this position, you'll ideally bring:
  • Previous experience working as a Contracts Administrator within the construction industry.
  • Experience working for a mechanical services, HVAC or building services contractor would be highly regarded.
  • A sound understanding of construction contracts and commercial management processes.
  • Strong knowledge of variations, progress claims, subcontractor management and cost control.
  • The ability to interpret technical scopes, drawings and contract documentation.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
  • A proactive approach with the ability to manage competing priorities and work within a project team.

What's on Offer?
  • Join an established Tier 1 D&C Mechanical Contractor with an excellent project pipeline.
  • Work across major commercial construction projects in Melbourne.
  • Exposure to technically challenging and high-value mechanical services packages.
  • Support from an experienced and well-resourced project delivery team.
  • Genuine career progression and opportunities to develop your commercial capabilities.
  • Competitive salary package reflective of experience.
