Senior Contract Specialist

• Projects across; major civil infrastructure/construction including alliance and JV projects with deep underground tunnelling infrastructure, wind farm developments, mining/resources as well as mid to high rise building construction with deep excavations and basements/foundations
• They have over 120 staff across Australia
• Supporting the who team across their national portfolio, you’ll report to the WA Regional Manager who has been covering the contracts function; she will be there to help you find your feet, freeing her up to tackle wider managerial and technical aspects
• Additionally, their existing management team is highly commercial, so your background as a more technical (potentially even blackletter) contracts specialist, ideally with a legal pedigree, would complement this – guiding the business on the interplay of terms and conditions and risk profiles across their contract will add benefit
• A collaborative, non-dogmatic approach coupled with an understanding that the business may chose to take on more risk for commercial reasons will set you up for success.
• The role will involve review, assessment, and negotiation on a range of contracts (AS4122, bespoke construction contracts, among others), through close collaboration with project managers, external legal advisors, and internal management
• It is a company where you can be yourself, you won’t get pigeonholed and you can be the architect of your own career trajectory
• Being employee owned, they have a practical approach, they care about their staff and their quality of delivery
• Being a newly created role, they are confident that there will be enough for a full-time load, but would also be open to part-time (circa 0.8x), with the inclusive culture being a supportive landing for someone returning from parental leave / a career break
