  • Provide general legal support on day to day matters such as service agreements, corporate resolutions, and formal communications
  • Monitor and interpret legal developments related to renewable energy and work with external counsel as needed to support project execution

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of relevant legal experience, ideally including time in private practice and/or an in house legal team.
  • Experience advising on renewable energy projects, particularly in solar or ESS development, construction, or operations
  • Ability to manage complex negotiations and provide pragmatic legal advice to commercial teams
  • High integrity, strong professional ethics, and a proactive, solutions oriented mindset
