About Fisher Holdings
Fisher Holdings is a family-owned group of construction companies now in its third generation, and one that's spent that time setting the standard rather than following it. It started when our founder created an unexpected use for a lightweight concrete material. He then went further and developed the pumping method used to place it, a method that has become the industry standard and is still how the material is installed today. That same innovator instinct built what's now five companies: Cell-Crete, Sound Crete, Dedicated Floor Systems, Crown City Equipment Rental, and Crown City Trucking, each carrying the same willingness to solve problems other companies won't take on.
We run as one team, not five companies stacked on top of each other. There's no layer of bureaucracy standing between you and getting something done, which means you'll learn more here in a year than most places let you learn in five. We succeed together and we fail together, and we look out for each other the way people do when the group is small enough to actually know one another. We're looking for problem solvers and progress pushers, people who go above and beyond because the work is theirs to own, not just do. Nothing here is off limits. If you can see it, we're a place that will help you build it. Sound like you?

Who's Hiring


What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in construction contract administrator jobs.
- Three to five years of experience administering construction contracts on commercial or public projects
- Proficiency with Procore, Bluebeam, or comparable construction management software
- Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field
- Direct experience processing RFIs, submittals, change orders, and progress payment applications
- Familiarity with AIA contract documents, general conditions, and subcontract language
- Strong written communication skills for correspondence with owners, contractors, and subcontractors
Tips for Your Construction Contract Administrator Job Search
Tailor your resume to contract documents
Highlight your hands-on experience with RFIs, submittals, change orders, and payment applications. Hiring managers want to see the specific contract document types you've managed, not just a list of projects. Generic construction experience won't stand out here.
List your software tools explicitly
Many applicant tracking systems screen for Procore, Bluebeam, Primavera P6, or Sage before a human reads your resume. Name every platform you've used and your proficiency level. Burying software in a summary paragraph means automated filters will miss it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists construction contract administrator openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target job titles that map to your specialty
Owners, contractors, and program managers post this role under different titles, including contract compliance manager, project administrator, and construction administrator. Search multiple title variants so you don't miss openings that match your background but use different wording.
Prepare for scenario-based interview questions
Interviewers for contract administrator roles routinely ask how you've handled a disputed change order, an incomplete submittal, or a subcontractor default. Walk through one real example for each scenario before your interview, with the contract clause and resolution you used.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Before accepting an offer, clarify which contracts you'll own end-to-end versus support. Administrators who manage full contract lifecycles independently command different terms than those in a support role, and that distinction rarely appears in a job posting.
Construction Contract Administrator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most construction contract administrators?
The most active employers for construction contract administrators right now are HDR, Moseley, and Portman, and the most openings are in Ohio, Georgia, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Owner's representative firms, general contractors, and large public agencies tend to post the highest volume of these roles.
How many construction contract administrator jobs are remote?
About 40% of construction contract administrator openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the site-visit and document-coordination demands of most construction projects. Roles focused on contract review, claims analysis, and document control tend to offer more remote flexibility than those with active field responsibilities.
How do you become a construction contract administrator?
Start with a degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, or build equivalent experience through field or project engineering roles. Learn AIA and ConsensusDocs contract formats, then work directly with subcontract administration, RFI logs, and change order processing on active projects. Earning a certification from the Construction Management Association of America or the American Institute of Constructors strengthens your profile for dedicated contract administration positions.
Can you get hired as a construction contract administrator with little experience?
Entry-level candidates typically break in through project engineer, project coordinator, or assistant superintendent roles where they handle submittals, RFIs, and subcontractor correspondence alongside senior staff. Demonstrating hands-on familiarity with contract documents, even on smaller projects, matters more to most hiring managers than years of experience alone. A focused internship or co-op with a general contractor or owner's rep firm is a direct path into the role.
What does the construction contract administrator interview process look like?
Most interviews begin with a phone or video screen focused on your contract document experience and software proficiency. A technical round typically follows, where you'll walk through how you've handled a change order dispute, a non-conforming submittal, or a subcontractor payment issue. Final-round conversations often involve a project manager or director who assesses how you communicate with field teams, owners, and legal counsel under contract pressure.
Where can I find and apply to construction contract administrator jobs?
You can find and apply to construction contract administrator jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
