Join to apply for the Junior Contracts Administrator role at Prime Build

Are you a commercially-minded professional ready to make a real impact in construction?

Join Prime Build, a multi-award-winning construction company that's been recognised multiple times on the BRW Fast Grower's List. We're not just building projects – we're building careers, communities, and a legacy of excellence across Australia.

The Role That Rewards Your Expertise

As our Contracts Administrator, you'll be the financial guardian of exciting construction projects, working autonomously on smaller builds or collaborating with our expert team on complex, high-value developments. This isn't just administration – you're a strategic partner driving commercial outcomes and protecting our margins.

What makes this role special:

  • Direct impact on project profitability and success
  • Variety between independent work and team collaboration
  • Exposure to blue-chip clients and diverse project types
  • Fast-paced environment where your decisions matter

Your Mission

You'll take ownership of the complete contracts lifecycle, from procurement strategy to final settlements. Think of yourself as both a commercial strategist and risk management expert, ensuring every dollar is maximised and every contract detail protects our interests.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Negotiating improved commercial outcomes with trade partners
  • Managing subcontract variations and progress claims
  • Developing procurement strategies aligned with construction programs
  • Maintaining positive project cashflow through strategic planning
  • Ensuring full contractual and statutory compliance

We live by "The Prime Build Way" – ensuring safe workplaces, honest communication, zero defects, and 100% customer satisfaction. When you join us, you're joining a team that genuinely cares about excellence and each other.

What We're Looking For

  • A few years as a Contracts Administrator in construction
  • Qualifications in Building/Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or related field
  • Strong commercial mindset with proven financial acumen
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills
  • Experience with stakeholder management at all levels

Bonus Points For:

  • Familiarity with Jobpac, Procore, or Bluebeam PDF
  • Understanding of accounting procedures
  • Track record of successful contract negotiations

Since 2008, we've grown from a Sydney startup to a national construction leader with offices in Melbourne and Brisbane. Our expanding pipeline means endless opportunities for career growth, and our repeat blue-chip clients prove we deliver excellence every time.

This is more than a job – it's your chance to:

  • Work with industry-leading professionals
  • Contribute to high-profile projects across multiple sectors
  • Develop expertise in live environment construction
  • Be part of a close-knit, values-driven team

Ready to take the next step in your construction career?

We're an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and will make reasonable adjustments where needed.

Apply now and become part of a team that's building Australia's future, one exceptional project at a time.
