The Contract Manager works closely with engineering, HSE, project management, legal, and commercial teams to support the full project lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities

* Lead contract negotiations with OEMs, marine contractors, testing service providers, ports, and logistics suppliers.
* Identify, assess, and mitigate contractual risks specific to offshore wind projects, including weather risk, interface risk, delay and downtime, force majeure, termination rights, and liability allocation.
* Ensure contracts appropriately address health, safety, and environmental (HSE) requirements, offshore working regulations, and marine insurance provisions.
* Support contract termination, suspension, and close-out activities, including final accounts, claims management, and dispute resolution.
* Ensure compliance with applicable regulations, permits, and industry standards governing offshore wind testing and termination activities.
* Manage the contract lifecycle from pre-award strategy and negotiation through execution, amendments, termination, and post-termination obligations.
* Maintain contract records and monitor key milestones, testing deliverables, warranties, liquidated damages, and performance guarantees.
* Collaborate with project, engineering, and legal teams to align contract terms with technical scopes of work and project risk profiles.
* Develop and maintain contract templates, testing and termination clauses, and negotiation playbooks specific to offshore wind projects.

* 5+ years of experience reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts within offshore wind, renewables, offshore oil & gas, or marine infrastructure sectors.
* Strong understanding of offshore construction and marine contracting models (e.g., EPC, EPCI, lump sum, day-rate, framework agreements), will be an advantage, but not essential
* Experience with risk allocation for offshore operations, including weather downtime, vessel availability, defects liability, and termination for convenience or cause.
* Familiarity with international contracting standards and industry forms (e.g., LOGIC, BIMCO, FIDIC where applicable).
* Excellent negotiation, stakeholder management, and drafting skills
