About DT Infrastructure

 

DT Infrastructure is a trusted provider of engineering and construction solutions that unlock opportunities for our clients, communities and people. Specialising in Defence, transport and infrastructure, we offer a unique synergy of local expertise in complex projects and the global perspective of our multinational parent company, Gamuda Berhad. Through engineering innovation, collaborative contracting and leading sustainability practices we’re unlocking opportunities for a better tomorrow.   

 

About the role

With a rapidly growing pipeline of works across Queensland, we are seeking a highly driven Senior Contracts Administrator to join our team and provide essential commercial support to our expanding business.
 
In this pivotal role, one of your primary focuses will be supporting the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP), an essential, billion-dollar rail maintenance facility project. While QTMP will be your main priority, our diverse and expanding footprint in the region which includes major rail station upgrades in Rockhampton and Bundaberg, as well as large-scale solar power stations in Central Queensland means you will have the opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, multi-disciplinary portfolio rather than being tied to a single project.
 
Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you will be primarily responsible for implementing appropriate commercial strategies to ensure successful project delivery. You will take charge of the active, day-to-day administration of complex contracts and contractual matters, helping to drive efficiencies and robust commercial outcomes for our vital Queensland operations.

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Contract Administration & Drafting: Independently draft, negotiate, and manage complex head contracts and subcontracts, overseeing variations, notices, and progress claims
  • Compliance & Systems: Proactively monitor contract compliance, track milestones, and maintain accurate, up-to-date records within the contract management system
  • Procurement & Cost Control: Manage the procurement register, negotiate supply chain awards, establish project cash-flows, and implement effective cost control
  • Risk & Conflict Management: Analyze construction risks, apply mitigation techniques, and actively manage dispute avoidance
  • Stakeholder & Legal Liaison: Serve as the primary link between business stakeholders and legal counsel, facilitating clear communication and escalating complex legal issues when necessary

 

About you

  • Qualifications & Experience: You hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, backed by 7+ years of experience in a Commercial role within a large organization.
  • Commercial & Technical Acumen: You possess sound commercial judgment and a strong working knowledge of construction law and turnkey construction contracts. You are highly competent with computer systems and bring a proven ability to review, develop, and streamline new processes and transactional activities.
  • Communication & Drive: You demonstrate high levels of energy, initiative, and self-discipline. With excellent verbal and written communication skills, you can effectively consult, engage, and negotiate with a wide variety of internal stakeholders and external clients.
  • Leadership & Teamwork: You actively listen, build positively on others' ideas, and foster an environment of shared knowledge and continuous improvement within your team. You display fairness and trust, and you work effectively and professionally as part of a collective unit.
  • Cultural Alignment: You strongly align with DT Infrastructure’s core values: taking personal ownership, "walking the talk," adopting honest communication, and demonstrating real teamwork. Furthermore, you bring a strict commitment to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) accountabilities.

 

Why work for DTI

 

  • Competitive pay that reflects your contribution: We reward performance and impact, with our remuneration benchmarked to market.
  • Purpose-driven careers in infrastructure: As we grow our presence in the renewable energy sector, DTI is also continuing to cement its position as a delivery partner of choice across rail, roads and Defence infrastructure projects. Our teams benefit from the variety of opportunities, applying their skills and experience across multiple sectors.
  • Fostering your development: We’ve developed a culture where continuous learning is front and centre of everything we do. Fostering the growth and development of our people is key to our success and ensuring that we are preparing the next generation of leaders is a core focus for our business.
  • Parental leave designed for the reality of family life: Our industry leading parental leave policies are centred on flexibility to support modern family life, because at DTI, little families are a part of our one big family.
  • Flexibility that works for you and for us: We acknowledge that everyone’s needs are different in striking the right work-life integration. Whether it’s hybrid working, adjusted hours, job sharing or balancing family commitments, we’ll work together to make it work.
