You will be involved in every phase of the project lifecycle—from bid stage and financial close to construction and operations. You'll support contract reviews, draft and finalise EPC and O&Magreements, and manage complex legal challenges. This means defending claims, managing variations, and challengingproject representations when necessary. Your insights will guide stakeholders through risk mitigation, emerging risks, and establish robust communication and record-keeping systems. Essentially, you’ll be the legal backbone, ensuring smooth project flow across claims, suspensions, milestone reviews, and final acceptance phases.
We’re looking for someone who knows their FIDIC from their EPC and has experience with renewable energy contracts, including O&M agreements, PPAs, and Implementation Agreements.
