Job description

Our client, a growing independent power producer active in utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage is looking to add an Associate-level attorney to its in-house legal team.

• Strong drafting and negotiation instincts, and the confidence to deal directly with commercial counterparts.
• A collaborative style -the opportunity will suit individuals who thrive in lean team environments.
• Solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office and virtual data rooms (Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, etc.).
