REMOTE BUT MUST BE UK BASED
6 MONTHS FTC, TO PERM OR PERMANENT
ASAP START
A leading renewable energy EPC provider is seeking an experienced EPC Contracts & Claims Manager to support the delivery of utility-scale solar PV and battery storage projects across the UK.
The Role
You will lead on the practical management of EPC contracts, supporting delivery teams while ensuring contractual risks, claims, and obligations are properly identified and managed.
This is a hands-on role focused on real-time project support, not purely legal review.
Key Requirements
* Degree in engineering or related commercial discipline (legal qualification NOT required)
* Strong experience in contract and claims management within construction, EPC, or oil & gas projects
* Proven ability to identify contractual risks and claim events early and manage them proactively
* Solid understanding of EPC contract structures and commercial drivers
* Experience managing claims, variations, and dispute processes, including submission and escalation
* Ability to work with bespoke contracts and support negotiations with clients and subcontractors
* Familiarity with NEC and/or FIDIC contracts
* Strong awareness of the commercial impact of late or poorly managed claims
* Experience in renewable energy, infrastructure, or similar sectors (solar/BESS desirable)
Key Responsibilities
* Act as the bridge between legal and project delivery teams, translating contractual requirements into practical actions
* Support project managers in managing subcontractor relationships from a contractual and claims perspective
* Identify, assess, and manage variations, claims, and risk events throughout the project lifecycle
* Lead on claims preparation, documentation, and timely submission
* Escalate complex contractual issues and liaise with legal where required
* Support development of contract management processes and best practice across projects
This role would suit candidates from construction or oil & gas backgrounds who bring strong commercial awareness but remain adaptable and pragmatic in approach.
The role will be home-based with occasional UK travel and the salary will be very competitive.
