Contract Manager – Protect Margins, Build Systems, Drive Growth

Location: Singapore (HQ-based, with client meetings)
Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

Every project runs on contracts, but not every company has someone who truly owns them. That’s where you come in.

As our Contract Manager , you’ll be the anchor between management, QS, and clients. You’ll oversee both main contracts and subcontracts , ensuring our risks are managed, our claims are watertight, and our systems are built for growth.

This isn’t a reactive role where you just process letters. You’ll be designing the way our contract management runs , setting up claim trackers, templates, and VO workflows that make the QS team sharper, while protecting our margins from unnecessary leakage.

If you take pride in foresight, clear documentation, and building processes that others rely on, you’ll thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage both upstream and downstream contracts — reviewing, negotiating, and administering terms with clients, consultants, and subcontractors.
  • Ensure compliance with the Security of Payment Act (SOPA) timelines; prepare and defend adjudication submissions if required.
  • Oversee variations, EOTs, payment certifications, and final accounts with full supporting documentation.
  • Standardise VO, claim, and EOT templates for the QS team; implement practical tracking systems (Excel, logs, dashboards).
  • Review contractual clauses and highlight risks to management before acceptance.
  • Act as the contractual point-of-contact with clients, maintaining strong relationships while firmly defending company interests.
  • Work closely with management to improve systems and protect cash flow across all projects.

Requirements

  • Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Building, Law, or related field.
  • Minimum 3–5 years’ experience in contract administration within Singapore’s construction sector.
  • Strong knowledge of BCA/MOM frameworks, SOPA processes, and standard forms of contract .
  • Proven ability to manage both client-facing and subcontractor-facing contracts .
  • Proactive, system-builder mindset - you don’t wait to be told; you set up clarity and processes.
  • Stable track record, strong communicator, and a collaborative team player.

What’s In It for You

  • Direct impact: Your systems will define how our QS team operates and how our projects are protected.
  • A seat at the table: You’ll work directly with management, not hidden in the background.
  • Growth pathway: Opportunity to step up towards Senior Contract Manager or Commercial Manager as we expand.
  • Stability & trust: Join a company with long-term projects, clear values, and a no-nonsense approach to growth.
  • Competitive package with annual review and performance bonuses.
