We are currently looking to bring on a Senior Contract Administrator to join a growing Newcastle-based consultancy, working across infrastructure, mining and complex project environments.
This is a unique opportunity to step into a role that goes beyond traditional contract administration, working alongside a team that specialises in contract, commercial, legal and safety advisory across major projects.
The role will initially involve a 6-month secondment, embedded within a client project, before transitioning into a broader consultancy position supporting multiple clients and projects.
Waltrix is a specialist consultancy providing legal, contract, commercial and safety management solutions tailored to infrastructure and mining projects.
About the Role
You will play a key role in supporting project delivery through strong contract and commercial management, working closely with project teams, stakeholders and contractors.
This is a hands‐on role where you will be embedded within projects, providing real‐time support across contract administration, risk management and commercial outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
* Administration of head contracts and subcontracts
* Management of variations, extensions of time and claims
* Preparation and assessment of progress claims
* Supporting procurement and subcontract engagement
* Identifying and managing contractual and commercial risk
* Ensuring compliance with contractual obligations and project frameworks
* Working closely with project teams to drive commercial outcomes
About You
* 5+ years experience in a Contract Administrator role
* Background in mining, engineering or major project environments preferred
* Strong understanding of contract management principles and risk allocation
* Experience working on complex projects (infrastructure, resources or similar)
* Ability to operate both independently and as part of a project team
* Strong communication skills and stakeholder engagement ability
* Comfortable working in embedded, client‐facing environments
Why This Role
* Opportunity to join a growing, highly regarded consultancy
* Exposure to complex infrastructure and mining projects
* Work across both client-side and contractor environments
* Be part of a business that partners with clients, not just services them
* Clear pathway beyond initial secondment into long‐term advisory work
