About the position

The Contracts Specialist is a vital role responsible for providing end-to-end contract administration and procurement support across operational and capital works portfolios.

Working as a key caretaker of organisational agreements, you will partner with business, legal, and operational stakeholders to administer contracts, issue variations, manage documentation changes, and uphold strict compliance frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Contract Administration & Management: Serve as the meticulous caretaker of contractual documentation, managing contract variations, extensions, amendments, and execution protocols.
• Tendering & Formation: Coordinate end-to-end sourcing support, prepare commercial documentation (RFQs, RFPs, RFTS), and manage clarification and execution workflows.
• Governance & Precision: Maintain complete accuracy and thorough records under Finance & Administration guidelines, ensuring dot-the-i's and cross-the-t's precision to support internal governance.
• Supplier & Stakeholder Relationships: Build and manage productive, trusted relationships with suppliers and internal teams (Legal, Finance, Operations) to facilitate smooth contract lifecycles and resolve commercial queries.
• Commercial Risk Mitigation: Demonstrate a solid understanding of commercial terms, contractual mechanisms (e.g., liquidated damages), and risk controls.
