Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Contracts Manager to oversee and manage full-lifecycle contract matters for a mid-sized chemical engineering project. This role will directly participate in the review of terms and conditions, negotiations, risk identification, and performance monitoring during the construction phase of the EPC Contract.

Key Responsibilities

1. Pre-Award Phase & Terms Review

● Terms Review & Negotiation: Lead or participate in the review of terms and conditions, provide input on clauses, and engage in negotiations for EPC contracts, design contracts, and major equipment procurement agreements. Focus on risk boundaries during project execution (risk identification and terms proposal), obligations and liabilities of both parties, indemnity, limitation of liability, force majeure, change order processes, and payment terms.

● Risk Identification: Assess commercial and legal risks in contracts from the owner’s perspective, particularly ambiguities in responsibilities between the owner and contractor. Propose risk mitigation strategies for common local challenges such as hurricanes in the Houston area and supply chain disruptions.

For non-compliant submissions, lead drafting responses and interface with the contractor. For valid changes, collaborate with project controls to verify authenticity and pricing basis (e.g., labor and material unit rates per the contract) to prevent scope creep.

● Correspondence Management: Stay aligned with daily project activities. Upon identifying potential risks during execution by project teams, consider contract compliance and evidence chain preparation. Lead the drafting, review, and archiving of routine commercial correspondence, meeting minutes, and notices exchanged with the contractor to ensure all communications are contractually binding or serve as legal evidence.

3. Compliance & Dispute Resolution

● Compliance Checks: Ensure contractors comply with applicable labor laws and regulations at the project location (Houston/Texas), as well as import/export requirements.

● Claims & Dispute Resolution: Anticipate potential disputes and assist the project manager in handling claims and counterclaims. Provide detailed contract interpretation and factual evidence before disputes escalate to mediation or arbitration.

4. Documentation & Reporting

● Contract File Management: Maintain comprehensive electronic and physical files for all contracts and amendments. Ensure the completeness and validity of critical documents (e.g., insurance certificates, bonds, payment records).

● Status Reporting: Regularly report to the project management team on contract status, potential risks, change order backlogs, and payment forecasts.

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications

● Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering, construction management, law, or supply chain management.
