Contract Administrator

Contract Administrators oversee contracts on behalf of an organisation and ensure that goods and services are delivered according to the agreement. They are often assigned to large projects — especially when working in the building and construction industry.

As a Contract Administrator you could be supervising sub-contractors and checking the quality of their work, liaising with contracting companies to ensure their schedules are met, checking supplier invoices against contract prices, or discussing a contract breach with the Project Manager and CEO.
