Contract Administrator Residential Construction

Negotiable Salary + Performance Bonuses

Do you enjoy bringing order to busy construction projects?

Are you the person who spots problems before anyone else and makes sure budgets, variations and project administration stay under control?

Culbert Constructions is looking for an experienced Contract Administrator / Construction Administrator to become a key part of our growing residential construction team.

This is more than an administration role. You'll work directly with the owner, take ownership of project administration, and play a major part in improving profitability and keeping projects running smoothly from contract through to completion.

About Us

Culbert Constructions delivers high-quality custom homes and residential renovations with a reputation built on quality workmanship, strong communication and doing what we say we'll do.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving systems and helping the entire team perform at a higher level.

About The Role

You'll become the central point for contract administration, supporting our Project Managers while removing the administrative workload from the owner.

Your work will ensure projects stay financially on track, variations are recovered, documentation is organised and every project has accurate, up-to-date information.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Supporting estimating and tender preparation
• Managing budgets, cost tracking and variation registers
• Preparing and pricing project variations
• Comparing subcontractor quotations and supporting procurement
• Assisting with progress claims and invoicing
• Managing OneDrive, project files and construction documentation
• Collecting and processing timesheets
• Supporting onboarding of new tea ---------- mbers into company systems
• Working closely with Project Managers and Site Supervisors
• Ensuring project information is accurate, organised and nothing falls through the cracks
  
  

About You

You'll already have experience in residential construction administration and understand what it takes to support successful building projects.

You'll have experience managing variations, project budgets and construction documentation, and be confident using Xero along with Buildxact or similar construction software.

You're organised, proactive and detail-focused. You naturally stay one step ahead, communicate well with builders, subcontractors and clients, and take ownership without waiting to be asked.

Most importantly, you care about getting the details right because you know they directly affect project success and profitability.

Why Join Culbert Constructions?

This is an opportunity to become a trusted member of a growing business where your work genuinely matters.

We Offer

• Negotiable salary based on experience
• Performance bonuses
• Flexible working arrangements
• Direct mentoring from the business owner
• A supportive, family-oriented team
• High-end custom residential projects
• A genuine pathway into an Operations Manager position as the business grows
  
  

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact instead of simply processing paperwork, we'd love to hear from you.
