  • Negotiate and draft EPC agreements, equipment supply agreements, power purchase agreements; subcontractor agreements, long term services agreements, operation and maintenance agreements, energy performance contracts and other related documents

  • Assist with all aspects of project management and project execution and provide strategic and business-oriented advice

  • Manage disputes and litigation

  • Coordinate and supervise outside counsel with a view to balancing legal costs with business goals

  • Liaise with senior business and functional stakeholders as required

About You:

  • Professionally Qualified lawyer of high calibre with practicing certificate in England and Wales (or equivalent) with ideally 4 – 6 years of relevant experience

  • Experience of drafting contracts and negotiating commercial agreements with a range of complexity and with a particular focus on distributed energy solutions (including CHP, solar and battery experience), new energy services products, optimisation services and propositions in the UK and internationally

  • Experience of a broad range of subject areas mainly focussed on construction (JCT, NEC and FIDIC) and commercial agreements (EPC contracts, PPAs, O&M and procurement agreements)

  • Highly strategic legal outlook and commercially savvy lawyer with experience of delivering successfully in a challenging, fast paced environment

  • Experience of acting as a successful business partner in a dynamic business environment

  • Experience of drafting contracts and negotiating high value commercial agreements with a range of complexity

  • Demonstrable ability to assess risk and deliver advice in a pragmatic manner, taking into account the wider and regulatory framework and commercial drivers.

  • Able to be a trusted business partner who is sought out for their input

  • Excellent influencing skills and an ability to deliver impact

  • Confidence in managing stakeholders at a range of different levels across multiple jurisdictions/cultures

Our customers come from all walks of life, and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. We will continue to champion inclusivity, develop future skills and invest in our local communities to create a better, more sustainable world, for everyone.

At Centrica we embrace diversity and actively seek to attract individuals with unique backgrounds and perspectives. To build a more sustainable future, we need the best team – a team with a diverse mix of people and skills, where everyone feels welcome and able to succeed. We are dedicated in helping to close the diversity gap and would love to see more females, people of colour and LGBTQ+ employees, as well as those from a variety of cultures and ethnicity to veterans and the differently abled. Supporting diversity and inclusion is a big part of who we are, we are not looking for people to fit into our culture but to add to it!
