Senior Contract Administrator/Quantity Surveyor

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, National 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. Randstad CPE values diversity and promotes equality.
