Contract Manager | Major Energy & Infrastructure Projects | Sydney

Why is this a great role?

Work on nationally significant energy infrastructure projects with a global industry leader.

This is an opportunity to join the Australian operations of a global engineering and technology organisation that plays a critical role in delivering energy infrastructure projects across Australia and internationally.

As Contract Manager, you'll become a trusted commercial adviser to the business, partnering with Sales, Project Management and Finance from tender through to project completion. Rather than simply reviewing contracts, you'll influence commercial outcomes, negotiate directly with customers and help deliver complex infrastructure projects from start to finish.

This is a highly visible role offering genuine autonomy, international exposure and the opportunity to become an integral part of a collaborative global team.

How will this role develop your career?

You'll work on complex EPC, energy and industrial projects while developing your expertise across every stage of the contract lifecycle.

The role offers broad exposure to:

• Tender preparation and commercial negotiations.
• Contract administration throughout project delivery.
• Claims and variation management.
• Commercial risk assessment.
• Cross-border stakeholder management.
• Strategic project advisory.

You'll also collaborate with experienced contract management professionals across Australia, the Middle East and Asia, providing valuable international exposure that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Why do professionals enjoy working here?

This organisation has built a reputation for delivering some of the world's most important energy infrastructure projects.

The culture is collaborative, commercially focused and genuinely international. You'll work alongside experienced professionals who value practical problem-solving, knowledge sharing and continuous development.

The business encourages ownership, giving Contract Managers the opportunity to partner directly with senior stakeholders and influence key commercial decisions throughout major projects.

What work will you do?

• Reviewing and negotiating commercial terms during tender submissions.
• Identifying contractual risks and commercial opportunities.
• Supporting contract negotiations alongside legal and commercial teams.
• Managing contracts throughout project execution.
• Advising on claims, variations, warranties and contractual notices.
• Supporting dispute avoidance and commercial resolution strategies.
• Delivering contract management guidance and training to internal stakeholders.
• Working closely with Sales, Supply Chain, Project Management and Finance teams across Australia and the wider APMEA region.

What type of person will be successful?

You'll ideally bring:

• A law degree or equivalent commercial qualification.
• At least five years' experience within contract management, legal, commercial or risk management.
• Strong experience negotiating complex commercial contracts.
• Experience supporting EPC, infrastructure, engineering, manufacturing or major project environments.
• Excellent commercial judgement and stakeholder management skills.
