The opportunity
We're seeking a detail-driven Procurement & Commercial Manager to support a major offshore renewables programme. This role is contract- and documentation-focused: less about front-end negotiation, and more about internal coordination, drafting precision, and managing commercial risk across complex technical packages.
You'll work closely with Procurement & Commercial, Legal, and Engineering to shape and maintain a robust contracting position, translating technical requirements into clear commercial language and ensuring consistency across contract suites.
What you'll be doing
* Drafting, reviewing and heavily amending contract documents, ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout.
* Cross-comparing multiple versions of contract wording (redlines/mark‑ups) to identify material changes and implications.
* Converting technical drafting into commercial drafting without losing the engineering intent.
* Coordinating inputs across P&C, Legal and Engineering, maintaining version control and ensuring alignment to agreed positions.
* Identifying, coordinating and actively managing commercial and contractual risks (including tracking mitigations and ensuring they are reflected in documentation).
* Providing informed market positions based on prior experience with offshore supply chains and typical supplier stances.
* Supporting governance, approvals, and readiness for contract finalisation.
What We're Looking For (essential)
* Strong experience in procurement/commercial/contract management within offshore wind or comparable offshore infrastructure.
* Highly structured, meticulous approach – comfortable working through complex technical contract drafting and detailed documentation.
* Practical experience with FIDIC Yellow Book (including significant amendments) and familiarity with LOGIC‑style terms or similar offshore contracting frameworks.
* Onshore and offshore experience (vital), with an understanding of how offshore delivery realities affect risk, obligations and contract administration.
* Experience working with or for key energy supply chain/EI‑type suppliers (e.g., offshore substation, export cable, major offshore EPC or equivalent).
* Confident stakeholder management – able to coordinate multiple internal contributors and keep documentation controlled and coherent.
Desirable
* A legal background or a strong legal/commercial grounding gained through hands‑on contracting roles.
* Direct exposure to offshore substation and export cable packages (supply/EPC/EPCI), including acceptance regimes, warranties, LDs, interface risk and change control.
* Experience supporting internal contract governance and approvals in large programmes.
How to apply
* Apply with your CV highlighting your experience with FIDIC/LOGIC‑style contracts.
* Relevant offshore project exposure.
* Examples of drafting/comparison/risk‑management work on technical packages.
* Guidant, Carbon60, Lorien & SRG – The Impellam Group Portfolio are acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
