• Manage relationships with EPC contractors, equipment delivery partners and other stakeholders through the Project Delivery phase.
• Oversee contractors and subcontractors to ensure quality and schedule compliance and adherence to safety guidelines.
• Collaborate with customers, suppliers, partners, sales and senior management to ensure contract requirements are met.

• Participate in business improvement projects, documenting and communicating project plans and changes.
• Support contract negotiations with potential contractors and suppliers.
• Work with the project finance team on budget review, revenue and cash‑flow forecasts, proposing mitigation to contain cost growth when appropriate.
• Represent Fluence in person and through written material to executives, regulatory officials and supply‑chain partners.
• Promote Fluence values of Leading, Agile, Responsible and Fun throughout the organization.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 3 years of P&L responsibility delivering equipment supply or turn‑key projects.
• Over one-year experience managing subcontractor contracts.
