Local Building Recruitment – Abbotsford VIC

An established boutique Melbourne builder is looking to appoint Contract Administrator to join the team on a $28m high-end apartment development in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

This role will suit an experienced CA with a strong D&C background who enjoys quality apartment projects but is looking to move away from the constant pressure and workload that can come with larger Tier 2 builders.

You’ll be based on one project, working closely with the Project Manager and site team, with responsibility across procurement, cost management, subcontract administration and client/consultant relationships.

The Directors are big on workload and deliberately aim to have their people operating at around 80% capacity, allowing the team to properly manage their projects when things get busy.

The Project

  • Strong architectural and finishes focus
  • One project – no being spread across multiple jobs
  • Experienced project and site team

About the Role

An established boutique Melbourne builder is looking to appoint Contract Administrator to join the team on a $28m high-end apartment development in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

This role will suit an experienced CA with a strong D&C background who enjoys quality apartment projects but is looking to move away from the constant pressure and workload that can come with larger Tier 2 builders.

You’ll be based on one project, working closely with the Project Manager and site team, with responsibility across procurement, cost management, subcontract administration and client/consultant relationships.

The Directors are big on workload and deliberately aim to have their people operating at around 80% capacity, allowing the team to properly manage their projects when things get busy.

The Project

  • $28m boutique apartment development
  • Inner Melbourne location
  • High-end, owner-occupier product
  • Strong architectural and finishes focus
  • D&C delivery
  • One project – no being spread across multiple jobs
  • Experienced project and site team

The builder has an established track record in boutique multi-residential, with current and completed apartment projects ranging from approximately $9m to $35m. Their focus is predominantly owner-occupier developments where quality, detailing and finishes are critical.

The Builder

A privately owned Melbourne builder established in 2011, now employing 60+ staff and having delivered more than 200 projects across Victoria.

Despite that growth, they have maintained a small and intimate feel, with direct access to the Directors and a strong focus on quality rather than simply chasing volume.

Their residential work is centred around highly detailed, architecturally designed projects, with a genuine emphasis on the finished product.

They also run established systems, including Procore across project management and administration.

The Role

You’ll work closely with the PM and Foreman across:

  • Procurement & letting subcontract packages
  • Cost reporting & forecasting
  • Variations and contractual administration
  • Client & architect liaison
  • Subcontractor management
  • Programming and project documentation
  • Claims & invoices
  • Supporting the project through delivery and handover

The position description places particular emphasis on project profitability, quality, timely handover and strong client relationships, rather than simply processing contracts.

About You

Ideally you will have:

  • Proven Contract Administrator / Senior CA experience
  • Strong D&C experience
  • Apartment or multi-residential experience highly regarded
  • Experience delivering projects with a head contractor
  • Strong commercial and procurement knowledge
  • Ability to work directly with clients, consultants and subcontractors
  • A preference for quality projects and a more measured working environment

This isn't about stepping backwards in project quality or responsibility.

It's an opportunity to work on a $28m boutique apartment build, focus on one project and have the time and support to do the job properly.
