The Company is in search of a Senior Counsel for Procurement and Construction to join its legal team. The successful candidate will be a key player in the support and execution of large-scale renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, and battery storage. This role involves leading the negotiation and drafting of a variety of complex commercial agreements, with a focus on construction and procurement. The Senior Counsel will also serve as a strategic advisor, managing legal risks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and legal standards throughout the project lifecycle. Applicants must have a J.D., LL.B., or equivalent law degree, with active bar membership in a U.S. or Canadian jurisdiction. A minimum of 10 years of legal experience, including a strong background in commercial agreement negotiation, is required.
