Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development, drafting, negotiation, redlining, and execution of high value construction contracts, amendments, and agreements with vendors, contractors, and suppliers for natural gas/power infrastructure projects.
  • Analyze contract terms for risks, compliance with legal/regulatory standards (e.g., energy sector regs), and alignment with project goals; recommend strategies to protect company interests.
  • Partner with outside legal counsel to ensure swift contract negotiations and execution.
  • Monitor contract performance, track deliverables, manage change orders, and resolve disputes; conduct audits and direct corrective actions as needed.
  • Prepare executive-level reports, summaries, and presentations on contract status, project risks, costs, and milestones for C-suite review and decision-making.
  • Collaborate with project teams, procurement, legal, engineering, and finance to support solicitation processes, vendor evaluations, and post-award administration.
  • Oversee insurance endorsements, billing, fiscal projections, and compliance for construction-related agreements.
  • Provide guidance on complex procurements (e.g., design-build, EPC) and serve as a subject matter expert on contract best practices in oil/gas/energy construction.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Law, Finance, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree or certification (e.g., CPCM, NCMA) preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in contract analysis/management, with at least 3-5 years in energy, oil/gas, or large construction projects.
  • Proven track record handling high-visibility contracts with C-suite exposure.
  • Financial acumen to understand, analyze, and report on contract cash flow scenarios and risks.
  • Experience with EPC contract drafting, negotiation, and execution for large scale Mega Projects.
  • Strong negotiation skills, attention to detail, and ability to thrive under pressure.
  • Excellent communication for executive briefings and cross-functional teamwork.
  • Proficiency in contract management software, MS Office, and data analysis tools.
