Contracts Administrator

Build more than projects. Help create communities people are proud to call home.

Some construction projects change skylines.

Others change lives and foster the opportunity to provide safe place to call home.

At Ascot Group, we’re proud to partner with some of Australia’s leading Retirement Living providers, delivering projects that create safe, vibrant and welcoming communities for thousands of Australians.

As our Retirement Living division continues to grow nationally, we’re looking for a Contracts Administrator who wants to be part of something meaningful.

This isn’t just about managing contracts and procurement.

It’s about being part of a team that delivers projects where quality matters, relationships matter and every decision contributes to creating homes and communities people will enjoy for years to come.

If you’re someone who enjoys being organised, solving problems, partnering with Project Managers and subcontractors, and seeing projects come together from start to finish, we’d love to meet you.

What you’ll be doing

Working closely with our Project Managers and delivery teams, you’ll play a key role in keeping projects moving by providing strong commercial and contractual support throughout the project lifecycle.

You’ll be involved in:

• Managing procurement and subcontractor packages from tender through to award.
• Preparing contracts, purchase orders and project documentation.
• Assessing variations, progress claims and subcontractor payments.
• Monitoring project budgets, forecasts and cost reporting.
• Supporting Project Managers with commercial decision-making and project delivery.
• Building strong relationships with subcontractors, consultants and clients.
• Helping deliver projects safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

You’ll be part of the project team from beginning to end, ensuring every detail is managed and every project is set up for success.

About you:

You’re someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex projects.

You understand that great Contracts Administrators do far more than manage paperwork, they help projects run smoothly by anticipating issues, building strong relationships and keeping the commercial side of projects on track.

You’ll likely bring experience within commercial construction, fit-out, refurbishment or maintenance, and be looking for an opportunity where you can continue to grow your career alongside experienced project professionals.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience as a Contracts Administrator within construction.
• Understands procurement, subcontract administration, variations and cost control.
• Enjoys working collaboratively with Project Managers, Site Supervisors and subcontractors.
• Is organised, commercially aware and proactive.
• Communicates confidently and builds trusted relationships.
• Wants to continue learning and developing their career.

Why Retirement Living?

Retirement Living is one of the fastest-growing sectors in Australian construction. Every project is different, every client relationship matters and every refurbishment or upgrade helps improve the lives of residents who already call these communities home.

The work is varied, fast-paced and rewarding, with projects that demand strong planning, collaboration and attention to detail. You’ll have the opportunity to work across multiple projects while developing expertise in a sector experiencing significant national growth.

Why you’ll love this role

• Deliver meaningful Retirement Living projects that improve communities.
• Work alongside experienced Project Managers within a collaborative national team.
• Build your commercial capability across a diverse portfolio of projects.
• Access genuine career development through Ascot Academy.
• Join a business experiencing strong national growth with long-term opportunities.
• Be part of a culture where your contribution is recognised and your career matters.

If you’re looking for more than your next Contracts Administration role, if you’re looking for a place to build a career, make an impact and grow alongside a business that’s going places, we’d love to hear from you.
