Contract Administrator

Contract Administrator

Contract Administrators primarily review, negotiate, and manage a range of customer and vendor contracts. They support the sales, supply chain, and operations teams to capitalize on new opportunities while maintaining alignment with the company's risk tolerance and policies. They may interface directly with customers or may provide internal advice which is then implemented by other teams.

Secondary responsibilities include supporting the change order process, collecting deliverables from subcontractors, resolving disputes, and maintaining accurate records. Strong communication and organizational skills are crucial for successful coordination between sales, legal, and other departments, and for advancing the company's interests while preserving goodwill with its customers and vendors.

What will you do as the Contract Administrator

• Review and negotiate customer and vendor contracts while ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with applicable law and company policies.
• Work closely with sales, operations, legal, and finance teams to understand customer needs, address commercial concerns, and tailor contract terms to meet specific requirements.
• Oversee subcontract administration matters, such as collecting statutory declarations and lien waivers.
• Monitor compliance with exception reporting and approval processes under the relevant Delegation of Authority policy.
