Contract Administrator

Contract Administrator (Commercial and Operational)
Location: Milton Keynes

Job Role
Ringway are looking for a Contracts Administrator to join our highways team, supporting the commercial, operational and finance functions on a major contract.

This is a varied, business‑wide role rather than a traditional admin position, offering exposure across multiple departments and the opportunity to build valuable experience within a major infrastructure environment. 

Duties
The Role
You’ll support the day‑to‑day administration of an NEC contract, acting as a key link between the client, the commercial team and operational colleagues. While the role is predominantly office‑based, it offers real insight into how a live highways contract is managed end to end.

Key responsibilities include:
- Support NEC contract administration through CEMAR
- Manage early warnings, compensation events, quotations and correspondence
- Track defects, completed works and outstanding actions
- Provide commercial, operational and financial admin support
- Manage document control, filing and meeting actions

This is a newly created role, giving the successful candidate the chance to shape how the position develops while gaining hands‑on experience across commercial, operational and financial functions.

What you'll gain
- Exposure to how major highways and infrastructure contracts are managed
- Experience working with NEC contracts and industry‑standard systems
- A varied workload with no two days the same
- Development opportunities with clear future pathways into commercial, operational or project roles
- The chance to build a long‑term career within a supportive and established highways business
