How You’ll Make an Impact

• Draft, review and negotiate high-value, complex commercial contracts for offshore wind projects, including procurement, construction and service agreements
• Provide legal advice and support throughout the entire project lifecycle, from bidding and development to execution, claims and close-out
• Lead contractual negotiations with customers, suppliers, and partners to secure favorable terms and mitigate commercial risk
• Identify, analyze and advise on legal and contractual risks, ensuring compliance with international and national laws and monitoring governance policies within the project context
• Act as a trusted legal advisor to senior management, providing strategic input, delivering legal training to business teams and supporting claims resolution, including mediation and arbitration where required
• Contribute to internal initiatives such as developing standard contract templates and legal guidance for the offshore business unit and liaise with external legal counsel on complex matters

What You Bring

• Qualified as a lawyer (e.g. Advokat) in Denmark, another EU jurisdiction, the UK, or another strategic market, with bar membership and a Master's degree in Law (e.g. Cand.jur.) or equivalent
• Around 5+ years of post-qualification experience as a commercial lawyer, in-house or in private practice
• Demonstrable experience in the energy, construction or infrastructure sectors, with exposure to large-scale international projects highly preferred. Wind and offshore experience is a strong plus
• Strong skills in contract drafting and negotiation, including FIDIC contracts, combined with sound legal risk management and business acumen
• A collaborative team player who thrives in a highly international, diverse environment and enjoys engaging with stakeholders across many countries.
• Fluent English required, Danish or other languages are a plus
• Willingness to travel internationally (approx. 30 days per year)
