The posting

Do you want to join a global leader in renewable energy infrastructure? If so, CIP Terra Technologies is currently looking for a Project Legal Counsel to join our team in Chicago, the US.

Team

The Project Legal Counsel will become part of a growing and experienced team of professionals contributing to the delivery of large-scale projects of diverse technologies globally. Our goal is to assemble a motivated, diverse, and skilled team that works to make a meaningful, positive difference for the planet. This position will directly report to the Contract Director and will be based in Chicago with travel as required.

Role

The Project Legal Counsel provides end‑to‑end legal support for renewable energy projects and corporate activities, with an emphasis on project development, construction, transactions, and contract management. The role requires direct practical experience handling complex project contracts, negotiations, and claims management within an international project setting.

Responsibilities will consist of but are not limited to:

  • Legal support across the full lifecycle of renewable energy projects, including development, construction, operation, and divestment phases.
  • Drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and administering complex project documentation, including EPC contracts, supply agreements, service and O&M agreements, and related side agreements.
  • Drafting and negotiating NDAs, MoUs, framework agreements, and commercial contracts with suppliers, contractors, and project partners.
  • Managing and supporting contract negotiations with a pragmatic, risk‑based and commercially oriented approach.
  • Advising internal stakeholders on contractual structures, risk allocation, and mitigation strategies.
  • Ongoing contract management, interpretation, and enforcement throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Legal support for M&A transactions, joint ventures, acquisitions, disposals, and portfolio transactions in the renewable energy sector.

You

The ideal candidate is a fully qualified lawyer (Solicitor, Attorney‑at‑Law or equivalent) with 5+ years of post-qualification experience, gained in‑house or in private practice.

Moreover, you have demonstrated experience in renewable energy or infrastructure projects, preferably in an international context.

We look for the following in the candidate:

  • Extensive experience with FIDIC contracts, EPC contracts, supply agreements, service/O&M agreements, and NDAs.
  • Experienced in negotiating complex commercial and project contracts.
  • Experience in claims handling and contract management.
  • Close attention to detail and a high level of accuracy

The process

Please apply online as soon as possible as applications will be processed on an ongoing basis. For questions related to the role, please reach out to our Talent Acquisition team at [email protected]. We do not include CV's and Cover Letters sent by email.

As we continue to improve our candidate experience, diversity and avoid unconscious bias, please avoid having a photo in your CV. We commit to an inclusive recruitment process and equality for all applicants.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
