  • Working alongside tender managers to provide recommendations to senior management and obtaining necessary approvals.
  • Contributing to the Legal Team's strategy and objectives as a senior member.
  • Advising the contracts department, supply chain, and project teams on contractual language and risk mitigation.
  • Drafting and reviewing various legal agreements, including confidentiality agreements, mutual hold harmless agreements, parent company guarantees, memorandums of understanding, pre-bid agreements, and cooperation agreements.
  • Offering compliance advice and actively participating in client and supplier due diligence.
  • Supporting internal service providers, including delivering training to other departments.

  • Fully qualified Commercial lawyer (preferably with UK qualifications).
  • Relevant in-house experience within the UK Energy sector.
  • Strong ability to assess contractual risks from a practical and commercial standpoint.
  • Extensive experience in reviewing, negotiating, and advising on offshore industry contracts, especially EPCI negotiations.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to build strong collaborative relationships.
  • Demonstrated credibility and professionalism, maintaining the highest standards of integrity and confidentiality.
  • Proactive and self-sufficient, with the capability to work independently while collaborating effectively with team members and stakeholders.
  • Excellent organizational skills, adept at managing multiple competing deadlines.
