Contract Manager Onshore

Are you ready to help shape the future of renewable energy by managing the contracts that keep vital infrastructure operating safely, efficiently and delivering value for customers and communities?

At EDF power solutions, we're shaping an Electric UK and Ireland. Your work will help us turn that ambition into action – delivering renewable energy solutions that will power homes, businesses and communities for generations to come.

As a Contract Manager, you'll play an important role in supporting the performance of our renewable energy assets. Your commercial expertise will help us build strong supplier partnerships, manage risk, and make sure our contracts deliver the best outcomes for both our business and the low-carbon future we're creating.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to influence how some of the UK's renewable energy infrastructure is operated and maintained. You'll work across a varied portfolio of service contracts, helping to ensure suppliers deliver safely, effectively and in line with business expectations. From supporting procurement activities through to leading negotiations and managing contract performance, you'll have a direct impact on operational success.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, you'll join a flexible team working across #Edinburgh, #Durham, #London and home-based locations. The role includes regular travel across the UK, giving you the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues, suppliers and operational teams supporting our renewable energy assets.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across the business, providing commercial insight and helping shape decisions that support long-term value, operational excellence and continued growth. If you enjoy combining commercial thinking with strong relationship management, this is a role where you can make a real difference.
