Contract Administrator
Not Your Typical Contract Administrator? Good. Because this isn’t your typical role.
Cobild is making waves in one of Australia’s most iconic coastal destinations – Byron Bay. From high end apartments to vibrant retail precincts, we’re delivering luxury projects that redefine the landscape and leave a lasting mark on the community.
With a growing team on the ground and major developments about to launch in 2025, we’re searching for a Contract Administrator who’s hungry for more than business as usual. Someone who thrives on challenge, embraces responsibility, and wants to play a hands-on role in shaping projects just steps from Main Beach.
This is your chance to build, grow, and belong with a company that does things differently.
Why Cobild?
Because we’re not your typical builders. We’ve been named one of Australia’s Great Places to Work ten years running and are the first construction company to hit Legend Status. We don’t just build spaces, we create experiences, we shake up the industry, and yes, we have a whole lot of fun doing it.
The Role
As Contract Administrator, you’re the one keeping the engine humming, the planner, the protector, the commercial expert. You’ll run point on contracts, costs and procurement, making sure every deal, variation and detail is spot on. At Cobild, we back you to lead, negotiate, and make things happen.
- Owning all Head Contract obligations (dates, delays, variations – you know the drill).
- Setting up notices, protecting time and dollars, and keeping us sharp.
- Driving subcontractor and consultant procurement, from tender to sign-off.
- Building bulletproof relationships with clients, superintendents and collaborators.
- Managing claims, payments, variations, and supplier orders.
- Keeping reports and forecasts tight, accurate, and on time.
About You
- You’ve got 2+ years’ Contract Administration experience.
- Negotiating? You must love it. Problem-solving? Even better.
- Confident communicator (emails, calls, meetings, not afraid to pick up the phone).
- You connect rapid, and value relationships.
- You’re tech savvy and embrace new systems to more work more efficient.
- You can pivot when plans change (and they will). It’s the industry we’re in!
- Above all – you’re hungry to grow and do big things with a great brand!
Our Values:
You work for Cobild, you’re a Cobildian, it’s a thing, and our values are everything.
At our core is the concept of Relationships for Life. Seeking to enrich the lives of our team, clients and collaborators, we build genuine connections and have fun, uniting in our mutual quest for excellence.
We believe in the idea that Fun is Energy. A happy team is a strong team, and having fun gives us the fuel we need to go the extra mile. Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to make someone smile or LOL every single day.
We also value truth, integrity and accountability in all areas. Say What You Mean & Do What You Say. If it’s not true, we won’t say it and if it’s not right, we won’t do it - simple.
And lastly, our mantra is Not Your Typical. We build, but we’re not your typical builders. We’re all about challenging ourselves and the status quo, pioneering better, safer ways to work with vision, energy and expertise. Our never-say-die attitude means we don’t stop until we’ve delivered something truly extraordinary.
This isn’t just a job, it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Think:
- Wellbeing days and an appreciation day for your Workaversaries.
- Long-term recognition, because legends deserve more than a high-five.
- Annual L&D; budget to keep levelling up, $2k per annum on whatever you’d like to upskill.
- Not Your Typical events that bring the fun (and the LOLs).
- A workplace where balance isn’t a buzzword, it’s the real deal. We care about each other and do whatever it takes to show up and deliver.
