  • Manage operational relationships with subcontractors for crane services, wind turbine assembly, and electrical/mechanical installations.
  • Conduct technical and contractual analysis of contract annexes to resolve execution incidents promptly.
  • Draft and manage contractual notices, subcontractor response letters, and other formal communications to protect company interests.
  • Supervise subcontractors' adherence to contractual obligations on-site to prevent cost overruns or schedule delays.
  • Prepare documentation for claims management related to extra costs or extensions of time (EoT).
  • Monitor compliance documentation and internal approvals to ensure execution aligns with company standards.
  • Report on project outcomes to identify opportunities for future contract optimization.

Qualifications And Competencies

  • Academic background in Engineering, Law, or related fields, with experience bridging technical and legal aspects of construction projects.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in Contract Management or operational contract oversight in renewable energy or large-scale infrastructure.
  • Practical knowledge of managing heavy-lift subcontractors (cranes) and installation/assembly teams.
  • Previous experience with wind sector subcontractors serving major OEMs; knowledge of Vestas' internal processes is a plus.
  • Execution-oriented mindset focused on resolving operational issues.
  • Advanced proficiency in English (written and spoken).
  • Ability to meet tight deadlines in dynamic construction environments and manage peak workloads.
  • Availability to reside in Madrid and undertake occasional travel to project sites.

What We Offer

  • Salary aligned with market rates.
  • Life insurance and health insurance.
  • Meal allowance (dietas).
  • Hybrid work model based in Madrid, Spain.
