About John Holland

At John Holland, our purpose is simple, we transform lives with everything we do. We've always known at its heart infrastructure is about people — our customers, our employees, and the communities in which we work.

That's our difference. Deep experience and capability with a genuine care about creating better lives for people along the way.

Be part of a team that thrives on rising to the challenge of transforming lives for good.

About the Project

John Holland has been selected by the NSW Government to deliver Enabling Works for Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2, including a public and active transport bridge linking Wentworth Point and Melrose Park across the Parramatta River. 

The new bridge will connect communities on the north and south of the river, and will feature an innovative, long-span cast in situ balanced cantilever design. The design means the bridge will only have two piers in the river, minimising disruption to boats and other waterway users and protecting the sensitive marine environment.  

The enabling works cover 1.3km, including the bridge and approaches on either side of the river.  

This is the first critical stage of works for the light rail extension which, when complete, will connect communities on the Olympic Peninsula with Greater Parramatta.  

We're currently looking for an experienced Contracts Administrator to join our Commercial team on this exciting project 


Responsibilities of the role include:
  • Review draft scopes of works and compile tender packages. 
  • Conduct initial discussions/negotiations with subcontractors to clarify subcontract terms and conditions. 
  • Manage the review process to ensure timely and budgeted award of subcontractors. 
  • Maintain project procurement schedule and subcontract register. 
  • Maintain accurate cost records and report any cost issues to project management. 
  • Assess commercial and contractual risks and recommend controls.
  • Check compliance and prepare reporting on subcontract performance.
  • Ensure accurate valuation and assessment of progress claims.
  • Operate and maintain commercial and subcontract systems.
  • Perform all duties in accordance with JHG policies, processes, systems, reporting and procedures 
To be successful:
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Law, Commerce, Accounting or equivalent. 
  • CA/CPA. 
  • Previous experience as a Contracts Administrator within the engineering and construction industry. 
  • Experience with a variety of project values and complexities including subcontractor negotiations. 
  • Skills to interpret and apply relevant legislation/code on the project to prevent potential business exposure. 
  • Intermediate to advanced proficiency in relevant software packages such as Microsoft Suite (including Excel) and exposure to a contract management system (CRM).
As part of the team, you help us deliver on our promise to transform lives.

Your success is reflected in ours, so we're committed to being an employer of choice. We pride ourselves on having a diverse and inclusive workplace, as different perspectives and ideas will deliver our long-term success.
