A subcontract administrator (SCA) works for a business to obtain materials, equipment, services, or anything else that the company needs through subcontracts. A subcontract is an agreement with a third party to assist in completing a project, whether through goods, services, or workers. As a subcontract administrator, your responsibilities include assessing the needs of your team or employer, obtaining agreements to fill those needs, and managing the subcontracts from start to finish. You may choose the other party based on either qualifications or cost efficiency, but the goal is to find a compromise between the two. You likely need a bachelor’s degree or higher in business or business administration in this career.

Additionally, tracking deliverables, monitoring performance, and maintaining up-to-date documentation can be demanding, especially when working with diverse vendors. Effective organization and proactive issue resolution are crucial skills for success in this fast-paced environment.
