Contract Administrator - Construction

Contract Administrator / Construction

Atlanta, GA (on-site)

Family-Owned | American-Made Manufacturing

Not all contracts are created equal.

Our client manufactures and installs thousands of kitchen and bath cabinets for multifamily apartment projects across the Southeast. With 350,000 square feet of manufacturing space, production of 1,500 cabinets per day, and KCMA, NGBS, and BABA certifications, they have built a reputation for quality, reliability, and execution.

But every successful project starts long before installation. It starts with the contract.

We are searching for an experienced Contracts Manager to own the review, negotiation, and risk management of construction contracts. This is a high-impact role for someone who knows how to identify dangerous contract language, negotiate fair terms, and protect profitability before a project ever begins.

What You'll Do

·       Review and negotiate GC subcontracts, purchase orders, change orders, and master agreements

·       Redline contracts, issue exception letters, and negotiate directly with general contractors

·       Identify unacceptable risks and advise leadership whether to sign, negotiate, or walk away

·       Build and maintain a subcontract clause playbook with standard positions and fallback language

·       Manage contract compliance requirements, insurance obligations, bonds, lien waivers & notices

·       Support project teams with contract interpretation during disputes, back-charges, and delay claims

·       Coordinate with outside counsel when necessary and independently handle the rest

What We're Looking For

·       5+ years of construction contract review and negotiation experience in multifamily or residential construction as a subcontractor

·       JD, paralegal certification, or significant hands-on construction contract experience

·       Knowledge of lien law and payment bond law (multi-state experience preferred)

·       Strong business judgment and risk assessment skills

·       Exceptional writing, negotiation, and communication abilities

·       Cabinet, millwork, casework, finishes, or related trades

·       Contract lifecycle management software

·       Georgia Bar admission (not required)

Compensation / Benefits

·       $75,000 – $90,000 per year, depending on experience

·       Health, dental, and vision Insurance

·       401(k) Offered

·       PTO - 3 Weeks

·      On-site in the Sandy Springs office

Why Join Us?

This is not a back-office contract review role. You'll have a direct impact on project profitability, risk management, and company growth. You'll work closely with leadership, influence major business decisions, and help protect a thriving, family-owned manufacturer serving some of the largest multifamily projects across the Southeast.
