EPC Contracts Manager

As Scout’s Senior Manager, EPC Contracts, you will play a key role in the contracting for the fastest-growing technologies in the power sector: utility-scale wind, solar, energy storage, and related construction services. Your ability to draw on your knowledge of a combination of the commercial, legal and related aspects of renewables will enable our team to make better informed decisions. You will help develop and execute negotiating strategies, lead EPC contracts and partner with Scout colleagues, vendors, and counterparties. Reporting to and supporting the Director, you will coordinate this work collaboratively across Scout. 

This dynamic position will allow you to directly impact Scout’s long-term ability to power the energy transition. You will gain exposure to a broad spectrum of work – across technologies and interacting with many teams within Scout. 

You will join Scout’s Procurement team. This role will support the explosive growth in Scout’s portfolio of projects in development and construction. 

Key duties in your role will include the following: 

• Lead contract negotiations for EPC agreements. This includes exhibit management in conjunction with Scout subject matter experts. 

• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Construction, Development, Legal, and other Scout functions to ensure appropriate attention to key terms and conditions. Mentor colleagues and provide guidance on EPC contracting matters. 

• Work with Legal and other Scout functions to develop and improve contract templates for key contracts. 

• Support Construction, Operations and other Scout teams post contract signature, to ensure contracts are understood by the teams using them. 

• Support “lessons learned” on Contracts, so that key learnings from Construction, Operations, and other teams are considered in future contracts. 

• Develop options for Scout’s negotiating position for construction services and drive the execution of the selected approaches. 

• Offer intelligent recommendations to management on the best choices for Scout with respect to key terms and conditions and other contractual considerations. 

• Support and actively propose Procurement and Contracts continuous improvement initiatives. 

• Complete other duties as assigned. 

• We will rely on you to develop systems and tools to drive efficiency in our work. To do so, we expect that you will integrate the expertise you have developed in previous roles while continuing to advance your knowledge of our industry and innovation in contracts.
