  • Liaising with the Australian Transport Assessment and Planning (ATAP) Secretariat (Commonwealth Department) in preparing contracts on their behalf.
  • Supporting the Austroads executive group with regular review of agreements, contracts policies and procedures.
  • Providing contract-related support across Austroads, including procurement, tenders and variation advice.
  • Maintaining agreement templates across all Austroads entities.
  • Working with the Austroads Project Management Office (PMO) and project leads to develop preferred procurement strategies.
  • Receiving project brief documents and formatting them appropriately, including details such as tender dates, tender types, and evaluation panels, for publication on Tenders.net.
  • Advertising tenders on Tenders.net, including uploading the project brief and other documents routinely included.
  • Working with Austroads teams and the PMO to develop a tender plan and to track its delivery.
  • Liaising with the communications and marketing team to advertise tenders on the Austroads website.
  • Responding to queries raised on the Tenders Forum and liaising with project managers as needed.
  • Closing tenders and updating tender registers, including verifying that all submitters have accepted the terms and conditions, ensuring required documents are provided, forwarding submissions to Project Managers, and sending submission acknowledgements to all submitters.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement by identifying ways to enhance value for Austroads members and the public.
  • Maintaining and adherence to Quality Systems processes and procedures associated with the role.
  • Other duties as directed.

A successful candidate will need to present a professional image and build strong relationships across the enterprise. Specifically, the role requires:

  • Proven experience in the preparation of contract agreements, extensions and variations.
  • Proven experience managing end to end procurement processes using online tender portals.
  • Demonstrated high-level customer service and strong written and oral communication skills.
  • Advanced Microsoft Office skills including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
