The Assistant Contract Administrator supports the commercial and contractual management of construction or infrastructure projects. Typical requirements include relevant qualifications or experience in construction, contracts, commercial management, business, or law; strong written and numerical skills; and confidence using Microsoft Office and contract management systems. The role may involve preparing correspondence, maintaining contract registers, reviewing subcontractor claims, tracking variations, assisting with procurement, compiling reports, and supporting compliance with project and legal requirements. CIMIC would expect a proactive, organised candidate who can meet deadlines, communicate effectively with project teams and subcontractors, maintain accurate records, and work safely and ethically. Experience with construction contracts, payment processes, claims, or cost control would be advantageous.
CIMIC Group is a major Australian infrastructure, construction, mining, and services organisation with a long history of delivering complex projects across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The group has been involved in transport infrastructure, commercial buildings, utilities, resources, telecommunications, and public-private partnership projects. Its businesses and operating companies employ professionals across engineering, construction, project management, procurement, finance, safety, and commercial administration. CIMIC is part of HOCHTIEF, which is majority-owned by ACS Group, giving it access to international expertise and large-scale project capabilities. Working with CIMIC generally involves collaboration across multidisciplinary project teams, strict commercial controls, strong safety expectations, and opportunities to contribute to nationally significant infrastructure and resources developments.
Australia offers strong opportunities in construction, infrastructure, mining, engineering, healthcare, technology, and professional services, particularly in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional project locations. Workplace culture is generally practical, direct, safety-conscious, and relatively informal, with emphasis on teamwork and reliability. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to coastal, regional, and outdoor environments; housing and transport costs can be high in major cities. Employment visas may include employer-sponsored temporary or permanent visas, skilled migration pathways, and working-holiday visas for eligible nationalities. Sponsorship depends on the occupation, qualifications, experience, and employer approval. Relocating workers should budget for rent, health insurance, transport, tax, and initial settlement expenses. Qualifications and trade credentials may require Australian recognition, while construction roles commonly require site safety induction training such as a White Card.
