Contract Administrator

Contract Administrator
£50,000 - £70,000 + package
Central London | Long-term opportunity | Residential & Commercial Projects

We're working with a busy and growing consultancy that is looking to appoint a Contract Administrator to take responsibility for auditing and overseeing the work of Contract Administrators across a number of major projects within the capital.

The initial requirement will involve work on a large number of building cladding replacement projects for a major residential developer, alongside the audit and oversight of Contract Administration on a significant sport and leisure facility.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Contract Administrator to take a step beyond the traditional CA role, providing quality assurance, reviewing processes and ensuring projects are being administered effectively and consistently.

The Role
You will be responsible for:

• Auditing the work of Contract Administrators across a large number of cladding replacement projects.
• Reviewing contract administration processes, documentation and compliance.
• Identifying potential issues, inconsistencies and areas for improvement.
• Providing guidance and support to Contract Administrators where required.
• Auditing the Contract Administrator working on a leisure and sports related project.
• Ensuring contractual procedures and project documentation are being managed correctly.
• Working closely with project and commercial teams to identify and resolve contractual issues.
• Helping to develop consistent processes and standards across the business.
• Providing feedback and recommendations to senior management.

About You
We're looking for someone with a strong background in Contract Administration alongside excellent client facing skills.

Previous experience working as a Contract Administrator is highly desirable, particularly within construction, property, residential development or another built-environment sector.

You should have:

• Solid understanding of construction contracts and contract administration.
• Experience reviewing contractual documentation and project records.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify discrepancies or potential issues.
• Good communication and stakeholder management skills.
• The confidence to audit the work of others and provide constructive feedback.
• A methodical and commercially aware approach.
• The ability to work independently while also collaborating with project teams.

The Opportunity
This role offers genuine long-term potential. The initial workload is expected to provide 4-5 years of work, with the longer-term objective of developing the Contract Administration and auditing function into a standalone revenue stream within the business later on.

As the service grows, there will be opportunities to take greater responsibility for developing the function, establishing processes and potentially building a team around it.

Salary: £50,000 - £70,000
25 days leave + bank holidays
