Job Role: Contracts Administrator (Construction)

Compensation range: $1,500 AUD Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 8 AM - 4 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are:

At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Contracts Administrator to support a construction business undergoing a full operational reset and scale-up. This is a key foundational hire, with the opportunity to take ownership of core administrative and coordination functions.

You will work closely with the business owner to streamline processes, manage contracts, and ensure smooth project flow from approval through to execution. The goal is for you to become fully independent in managing day-to-day operations within approximately 3 months.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage incoming and outgoing contracts, ensuring accuracy and completeness
• Prepare, track, and follow up on quotes and RFQs (Requests for Quotation)
• Monitor project costs and maintain up-to-date quote tracking systems
• Follow up on invoices and assist in chasing outstanding payments
• Support basic scheduling and coordination of jobs and stakeholders
• Provide general administrative support/scheduling across projects from approval to execution
• Maintain organized records, documentation, and tracking systems
• Identify inefficiencies and proactively improve workflows and processes

Requirements

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Proven experience as a Contracts Administrator, preferably within the construction industry

• Basic financial understanding (cost tracking, invoices, payment follow-ups)
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of processes
• Proactive, resourceful, and solutions-oriented mindset
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
• Prior experience supporting international clients is a plus

Work Arrangement & Expectations:

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
