The primary objective is to support the Project Manager closely, ensuring strict contract compliance during the day‐to‐day construction of wind farms with our subcontractors. This role is also expected to provide support with our customer contracts during peak workloads and address the operational needs of the construction team.

Performing technical and contractual analysis of contract annexes to resolve execution incidents in real time
Drafting and managing contractual notices, subcontractor response letters, and any other formal communication required to protect company interests

Monitoring compliance documentation and internal approvals to ensure execution aligns with company standards
Reporting on project outcomes to identify optimization opportunities for future contracts
Qualifications And Competencies
Academic background in Engineering, Law, or related fields, with demonstrated experience bridging technical and legal aspects of construction projects
Minimum of 5 years of experience in Contract Management or operational contract oversight within the renewable energy or large‐scale infrastructure sectors
Practical and in‐depth knowledge of managing heavy‐lift subcontractors (cranes) and installation/assembly teams
Previous experience working for wind sector subcontractors that have provided services to major OEMs; knowledge of Vestas' internal processes is highly valued
Execution‐oriented mindset with a focus on resolving operational issues, prioritizing action over strategic negotiation
Advanced proficiency in English (written and spoken) for project management within the MED region
Ability to meet tight deadlines in dynamic construction environments and efficiently manage peak workloads
Availability to reside in Madrid and undertake occasional travel to project sites as required by the execution phase
What We OfferWe offer a stable and meaningful role within the Customer Project Execution department of one of the most established OEMs in sustainable energy.
