Senior contracts administrator / contracts manager required- construction advisory client-side firm
Your new company
Completely unique, a construction advisory consultancy- client side focus.
Are you a senior CA and you don't think there is an easier life out there? Getting slammed? working late? Constant arguing with subbies? Too much travel? This could be life changing. Literally.
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 construction, 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 Senior 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. Work across a range of projects
*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- 20 years working with a major Tier 1 or 2 builders here in Melbourne as a Senior CA minimum
- 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
An opportunity to move into the best side of construction, the advisory space. Feedback from the previous Tier 1 candidates I helped place here, is that this side is genuinely completely different and far more enjoyable. The day to day role is just "nicer, with less head aches". Work-life balance is massive. A role which is brand new, so yours to create. 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 $180k- $210k+super- I appreciate the salary is maybe lower. This is a consultancy role with a better lifestyle, so its one step back....for 3 steps forward both in
