Contracts Administrator

Contracts Administrator

Build the Agreements That Build Great Projects

Location: Phoenix, AZ (On Site) Department: Preconstruction

Why This Role

At GCON, exceptional projects start with exceptional partnerships, and every partnership starts with a well-crafted contract. We deliver some of the most demanding work in the industry, including semiconductor fabrication facilities and mission-critical data centers, and the agreements behind that work have to be just as precise as the construction itself.

As a Contracts Administrator, you'll own the documents that protect the business and keep our teams moving forward with confidence. This is a role for someone who likes solving problems, working across departments, and taking real ownership. You'll make independent decisions within your area while learning from experienced leaders in legal, finance, operations, and project management. If you want to grow from contract administration into a strategic contracts professional, this is a place to do it.

What You'll Do

Contract Administration

• Draft, review, revise, and administer commercial agreements, subcontract agreements, NDAs, purchase orders, vendor agreements, and customer contracts.
• Maintain contract files, amendments, renewals, and correspondence across the full contract lifecycle.
• Monitor milestones, expirations, insurance requirements, and compliance obligations.

Contract Review and Risk Assessment

• Review agreements for completeness, consistency, and compliance with company standards.
• Identify contractual risks, inconsistencies, and commercial concerns, then recommend practical solutions and language revisions.
• Escalate legal or high-risk matters appropriately while bringing thoughtful recommendations to the table.

What Makes You Successful

You exercise sound judgment and take ownership of your work. You enjoy finding practical business solutions, can work independently while knowing when collaboration produces a better outcome, and communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders.
