Are you a Senior Contract Administrator in Australia looking for a career-defining move? Our client is a premier UK civil construction group managing a multi-billion pound pipeline of infrastructure and Civil Engineering projects. We are seeking an experienced commercial leader to transition into a Senior Quantity Surveyor role.
Why Make the Move?
Seamless Transition: We value the Australian "Contract Admin" skillset. While the titles differ, the core logic of commercial delivery is the same.
Professional Growth: Gain exposure to massive UK frameworks (e.g., HS2, Highways) and the opportunity to become a RICS Chartered Surveyor.
What You'll Be Responsible For:
Commercial Strategy: Full lifecycle ownership of high-value "upstream" client contracts and "downstream" supply chain agreements.
Financial Control: Leading cost-to-complete reporting, CVRs (Cost Value Reconciliations), and protecting project margins.
Complex Negotiations: Managing major variations, Compensation Events (under NEC4), and EOT claims.
Leadership: Mentoring a team of junior and mid-level Quantity Surveyors to ensure commercial best practices.
Risk Mitigation: Identifying and managing commercial risks across large-scale civil works.
The Requirements:
Experience: 5+ years as a Contract Administrator or QS/Project Engineer/Manager, specifically in Civil Construction, Earthworks, or Infrastructure.
Contractual Knowledge: Expert understanding of head-contract management. Experience with AS4000/GC21 is excellent; we will provide training on NEC4 and JCT forms of contract.
Youth Mobility Visa (Subclass 417)
Communication: Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to manage Tier 1 client relationships.
Education: Degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Law, or Civil Engineering.
