  • Maintain accurate contract documentation and records, prepare project status reports, and ensure adherence to quality standards through regular audits and inspections.
  • Supervise and mentor junior contract administrators, assist in project planning and scheduling, and monitor project progress to ensure timely and budget-compliant completion.
Qualifications:
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in contract administration within the construction industry.
  • Proven track record in managing contracts for large-scale construction projects from $100m upwards.
