Where Legal Strategy Meets the Power of Energy

You know the law. You understand the business. Now it's time to make an impact.

At EnergyLink Sourcing, we're looking for more than an attorney who reviews contracts. We're looking for a strategic legal partner, confident negotiator, and business‑minded problem solver who understands what it takes to keep complex procurement and infrastructure projects moving.

If you thrive at the intersection of commercial contracting, procurement, Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC), and regulatory compliance, this could be your next big career move.

• Strengthen supplier relationships. Provide legal guidance on supplier performance, delivery challenges, commercial claims, and contract disputes.

• Build smarter processes. Develop contract templates, negotiation playbooks, approval workflows, and contracting standards that improve efficiency and consistency.

• Be a trusted advisor. Translate complex legal matters into clear, actionable recommendations for business stakeholders.

• Drive continuous improvement. Help strengthen legal operations, supplier risk management, and commercial contracting practices.

What You'll Bring

The Essentials

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.

• Active membership in good standing with a U.S. state bar.

• 3–5 years of legal experience in a law firm, corporate legal department, or combination of both.

• Strong experience drafting and negotiating commercial, supplier, vendor, or customer agreements.

• Working knowledge of procurement‑related regulatory and compliance matters.

• Excellent legal drafting, negotiation, analytical, and communication skills.

• Ability to independently manage competing priorities and provide sound, business‑focused legal advice.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience supporting procurement, strategic sourcing, supply chain, or EPC transactions.

• Industry exposure to energy, utilities, renewable energy, construction, manufacturing, or infrastructure.

• Experience negotiating complex commercial terms involving supplier performance, liability, indemnification, warranties, and delivery obligations.

• Texas bar admission or eligibility for Texas in‑house counsel registration.
