About Us

At ID Fitouts & Construction (IDFC), we're more than just a construction company; we create inspiring spaces with a 'whatever it takes' mindset. From high-end commercial offices to complex refurbishments and design-led fitouts, we deliver projects that combine quality craftsmanship with innovation, and efficiency.

Our team thrives on collaboration, accountability, and a can-do attitude. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a talented and experienced Senior Contract Administrator to join our Projects Team and take ownership of commercial and contractual performance across exciting, large-scale projects.

The Role

As a Senior Contract Administrator, you'll play a key role in ensuring the commercial success and governance of our construction and fitout projects. You'll manage contracts from tender through to completion, working closely with Project Managers, Site Teams, and external stakeholders to deliver quality outcomes.

This is a hands-on role suited to a proactive, detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced, team-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee the contract administration lifecycle for major D&C and fitout projects.

  • Lead procurement and trade letting processes; negotiating and evaluating subcontractor quotes.
  • Support Project Managers and Site Managers through all project phases.
  • Coordinate CDC, DA, CC, and OC approvals in collaboration with consultants and authorities.
  • Attend PCG and subcontractor meetings, compile minutes, and manage follow-up actions.
  • Mentor and guide cadet or junior CAs, fostering learning and consistency across the business.

About You

You're commercially sharp, organised, and confident managing multiple projects simultaneously. You take pride in precision, communication, and delivering results under pressure. Most importantly, you're a team player who brings both professionalism and personality to every challenge.

You'll bring:

  • 4-5 years' experience as a Contract Administrator in construction or fitout (D&C experience essential)
  • Strong understanding of head contracts, subcontracts, and commercial risk
  • Proficiency in Procore (or similar project management systems)
  • Excellent financial acumen and forecasting skills
  • Strong stakeholder management and negotiation ability
  • Tertiary qualifications in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or similar
  • A proactive, "whatever it takes" approach to achieving team success
  • Australian work authorisation is required for this position.

  • Competitive salary package
  • Hybrid working model with one day WFH
  • Enjoy a day off on your birthday
  • Be part of a collaborative, growing team
