Job Summary
Cosmo Cabinets is hiring a Construction Contract Administrator to review and negotiate subcontracts with general contractors before we sign them. This is a contract negotiation and risk role not a document control role. You will read every GC subcontract that comes through our door find the clauses that put us at unacceptable risk as a subcontractor and negotiate them out before signature.
About Cosmo Cabinets
We manufacture kitchen and bath cabinets in Eatonton Georgia. 350000 square feet under roof. 1500 cabinets a day. KCMA NGBS and BABA certified. Family-owned American-made.
We sell supply and install cabinets and countertops in multi-family apartment projects across the Southeast. Every project starts with a subcontract written by a general contractor for the general contractor. The terms in those construction contracts decide whether a good project stays profitable or turns into eighteen months of back-charges and delay claims. We are hiring one person to own that.
