Job description

I'm working with a leading international renewable energy business that specialises in the development, engineering, construction, financing and operation of large-scale solar PV projects across the UK, Europe and worldwide.

As the business continues to grow, they're looking to appoint an experienced Commercial Contracts Manager to play a pivotal role in managing contractual and commercial matters across an exciting portfolio of solar construction projects.

What will you be doing?

• Managing construction contracts throughout the project lifecycle, from tender and negotiation through to execution and closeout.
• Reviewing, negotiating and managing EPC and other construction agreements.
• Leading on contractual claims, variations, disputes and commercial negotiations.
• Identifying contractual risks and protecting the company's commercial interests.
• Managing client relationships and driving successful contract resolution.
• Working closely with Sales, Project Delivery and Legal teams across the business.

• Experience in Commercial Management, Contract Management or Quantity Surveying.
• A strong background in construction, infrastructure or EPC environments.
• Hands-on experience managing contractual issues, claims and variations.
• Proven negotiation skills and experience dealing directly with clients.
• Someone commercially astute, proactive and confident managing contracts through to completion.

Experience within renewables or solar would be a bonus, but is by no means essential.
