Sub-Contract Specialist (Brisbane)

Mills Recruitment
Brisbane QLD 4000

Listed 3 Sep 2026

Mills Recruitment are currently looking to hire a Sub-Contract Specialist for a major project in Brisbane

THE ROLE
This is a genuinely two-sided role. On formation, you’ll build bid request packages from the ground up and run the process through to execution. On administration, you’ll hold the contracts once they’re live — tracking progress, forecasting, and flagging difficulties before they become disputes.

YOU WILL

  • Prepare bidders’ lists and pre-qualify bidders
  • Form and issue bid request packages to approved bidders, and coordinate bidder questions and responses
  • Receive and commercially evaluate bids, prepare Commercial Bid Summaries and recommendations
  • Secure approvals in line with established procedures and prepare contract documents for execution
  • Direct negotiations in the commitment of contracts
  • Coordinate package stakeholders across safety, engineering, project controls, construction, quality and risk
  • Organise and chair pre-bid, bid clarification and pre-award meetings, and issue notes covering key positions, actions and schedules
  • Maintain continual review of contract progress, reporting projected financial or technical difficulties to management
  • Manage moderately complex contract changes through to negotiated settlement
  • Coordinate with project staff on operational activity affecting contractual rights, obligations and performance
  • Implement the Package List and applicable Standard Work Process Procedures

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Bachelor’s degree and 10–12 years’ contract formation and administration experience, ideally in a project environment
  • Track record on large, moderately complex construction and services contracts
  • Exposure to a wide range of contract types and pricing arrangements, up to $100m in value
  • Strong change management background — RFIs, change notices, change orders, amendments, claims and dispute resolution
  • Experience negotiating Australian terms and conditions and variations
  • The communication skills to work effectively across every level of a project team
