Senior C&I Contracts Administrator – Cape Town

We’re looking for a Contracts Manager to power projects with precision.

Are you the kind of person who dots every "i," crosses every "t," and ensures that every contract runs like a well-oiled machine? If you're tech-savvy, up to date with cutting-edge contracting strategies, and have a razor-sharp eye for detail, read on.

As the contracts manager, you will be at the core of drafting, reviewing, and negotiating agreements with EPCs, suppliers, and key stakeholders. Your role will be to ensure compliance, track obligations, and keep projects moving seamlessly.

You’ll work closely with legal, finance, and project teams to mitigate risks, resolve disputes, and oversee the smooth execution of large-scale solar and BESS projects.  Managing multiple contracts under tight deadlines should be second nature to you.

The ideal candidate is familiar with the EPC environment and is comfortable switching between boardroom discussions and on-site problem-solving – hard hat and safety boots included. You are well-connected in the renewable energy space and can leverage that network.

If you’ve mastered the art of negotiation, excel under pressure and can turn contract complexities into streamlined execution.
