A leading international offshore wind developer is looking to appoint new Legal Counsel to join its growing in-house Legal team in Edinburgh.
In this role, you’ll support the full lifecycle of major offshore wind projects—drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex EPCI contracts and associated documentation. You’ll be a key advisor on contractual risk, liabilities, warranties, indemnities, interface management, and project execution matters, ensuring that agreements are commercially sound and aligned with business objectives.
You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders across legal, commercial, procurement, and project delivery, as well as external counsel and international counterparties. You’ll contribute to procurement strategies and tender processes, including bid evaluations and contract awards, while providing ongoing legal support throughout construction and operations, including claims, variations, and dispute management.
You’ll bring hands‑on experience with EPCI contracting, large‑scale infrastructure or energy projects, and international negotiations. You’ll be qualified in Scots or English law with up to 6 years PQE. Familiarity with FIDIC, LOGIC is highly beneficial.
As part of a dynamic, collaborative and international team, you’ll be given a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You’ll be analytical, proactive, personable, and able to make pragmatic, commercially focused decisions. Strong drafting, communication, and influencing skills are key, along with the ability to build effective relationships across diverse internal and external stakeholders.
This role offers a compelling opportunity to contribute to the global energy transition while developing your career with a forward‑thinking, purpose‑driven organisation. You’ll benefit from a competitive compensation package, opportunities for professional growth, and the chance to work on some of the most significant offshore renewable projects in the marketplace.
