Full job description
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. 350,000 square feet under roof. 1,500 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.
What You Will Do
Review GC subcontracts, master subcontract agreements, purchase orders, and change orders for terms that unfairly shift risk onto us as a subcontractor
Redline contracts, issue exception letters, and negotiate directly with general contractors' contract administrators and project executives until we reach terms we can sign
Flag deal-breakers to leadership early with a clear recommendation: sign, negotiate, or walk away
Build and maintain our subcontract clause playbook — standard positions, fallback positions, and hard limits — so the same negotiations don't repeat on every project
Track insurance requirements, additional insured endorsements, bonds, and certificate compliance against what each construction contract actually demands
Manage lien waivers, preliminary notices, and notice deadlines across active multi-family projects
Pull the governing contract language when a dispute, back-charge, or delay claim surfaces mid-job, and support the project team through it
Coordinate with outside counsel on the contracts that genuinely require a lawyer, and handle the rest without one
Subcontract Clauses You Will Live In Pay-if-paid and pay-when-paid. Broad-form and intermediate-form indemnity. No-damages-for-delay. Liquidated damages. Consequential damages waivers. Retainage and release conditions. Flow-down and incorporation-by-reference. Termination for convenience. Acceleration and schedule compression. Back-charge and set-off rights. Warranty scope and duration. Change order procedure and notice requirements. Dispute resolution, venue, and choice of law. Insurance and additional insured requirements.
If those terms are familiar, this job will make sense to you immediately.
What You Need
5+ years reviewing and negotiating construction contracts, on the subcontractor side or the general contractor side
A legal background: JD, paralegal certificate, or equivalent hands-on construction contract experience with real depth
Direct experience with AIA contract documents, ConsensusDocs, and GC-drafted custom subcontracts
Working knowledge of Georgia lien law and payment bond law; multi-state exposure is a plus
Judgment to tell the difference between a clause that is uncomfortable and a clause that is dangerous
The spine to hold a position with a general contractor's contract department, and the sense to know when to trade
Clear, precise writing — your redlines and exception letters go out under our name
Preferred
Multi-family or residential construction experience
Familiarity with cabinet, millwork, casework, or finishes trades
Contract lifecycle management software experience
Georgia bar admission (not required)
Compensation and Benefits
$75,000 – $90,000 per year, depending on experience
