Legal will retain responsibility for legal interpretation, legal approvals, and material legal matters.

Essential Functions

Pre-Award Contracting & Commercial Coordination

  • Serve as the primary commercial contracting resource supporting Sales from receipt of a proposed customer agreement through contract execution.
  • Coordinate cross-functional reviews and maintain redlines, issue lists, risk summaries, negotiation matrices, decisions, approvals, version control, and a clear audit trail.
  • Establish owners, track outstanding actions and dependencies, and drive open items toward timely resolution.
  • Identify and escalate material commercial and operational risks while referring legal interpretations, legal approvals, and material legal matters to Legal.
  • Support negotiation strategy and customer contract discussions and confirm alignment with the approved scope, pricing, schedule, assumptions, exclusions, clarifications, and supplier commitments.
  • Facilitate a complete handoff of negotiated obligations, commercial positions, and open commitments to the project execution team.

Contract Governance & Process Improvement

  • Establish and continuously improve contract-review processes, workflows, templates, controls, and decision records across the contract lifecycle.
  • Evaluate and implement contract-management tools and provide concise reporting on cycle time, open risks, approvals, and agreements approaching execution.

Post-Award Contract Administration & Commercial Protection

  • Translate executed agreements into concise contract summaries, obligation matrices, and project kickoff requirements.
  • Provide risk-based post-award contract support, prioritizing strategic, complex, or higher-risk projects and material commercial events while enabling project teams to administer routine obligations consistently.
  • Partner with Project Managers to identify changes, delays, directives, differing conditions, and other entitlement events; support timely notices and change-order documentation.
  • Monitor pending or unapproved changes and escalate material commercial exposure before significant out-of-scope work proceeds.
  • Support claims documentation, event chronologies, entitlement positions, and coordination with Legal on material disputes and contract interpretations.
  • Partner with Supply Chain and Project Management to align major subcontract and supplier obligations with prime-contract requirements.

Project Controls, Reporting & Closeout

  • Connect contractual events and changes with project cost, schedule, forecast, and monthly risk reporting.
  • Support final changes, releases, warranties, lien waivers, final account reconciliation, and other contractual closeout requirements.
  • Capture lessons learned and provide structured feedback to Sales, Estimating, Operations, Supply Chain, and Legal to improve future contract positions, pricing assumptions, and risk allocation.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in construction management, Engineering, Business, Finance, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
  • Five (5)+ years of experience in construction contract administration, commercial management, project controls, project management, or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting pre-award contract review and negotiation and administering commercial construction, electrical infrastructure, EPC, or design-build contracts.
  • Working knowledge of redlines, approvals, change orders, notices, claims, payment provisions, warranties, bonding, insurance, and contract closeout.
  • Ability to interpret complex contracts, identify commercial and operational implications, and translate requirements into clear actions for Sales and project teams.
  • Strong written communication, organization, negotiation, and cross-functional stakeholder-management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • JD (Juris Doctor) from a credited law school is preferred
  • Experience within electrical construction, power, energy infrastructure, BESS, distributed generation, microgrids, EV infrastructure, switchgear, or other complex capital-project environments.
  • Experience supporting customer contract negotiations and administering EPC and/or design-build agreements.
  • Experience with major equipment procurement and supplier contracts.
  • Familiarity with AIA, Consensus, customized contract forms, and contract-management systems; CCM, CPCM/NCMA, PMP, or similar certification is a plus.
