[Hiring] Contract Manager @Energy Project Partners, LLC

Role Description

• Fluency with standard EPC and EPCM contract forms and owner-drafted agreements.

• Ability to run two to three active negotiations concurrently.
• Strong written communication and sound commercial judgment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and document management systems.
