Qualifications

Energy industry experience is not a pre-requisite but represents a positive factor to your successful induction and growth in the role Familiarity with construction and engineering contractual principles is a strength, but not a prerequisite. You may have some experience in navigating contractual drafting and mechanisms, possibly in a FIDIC-style contractual regime Vestas' corporate language globally is English. Fluency in spoken and written English is a requirement You are comfortable and curious when navigating challenging issues on which you are not necessarily the expert, but you enjoy facilitating and formulating a balanced decision being taken with input from independent experts


Competencies

You already have a natural interest in either commercial, legal, financial or technical disciplines and are comfortable in navigating the interface of such issues in complex high capital cost transactions Maintaining clarity of thought and thoroughness is a key skill set required for the role even though you will be working on issues in a fluid environment on deals that can move and have time management pressures You aspire to get more professional experience in exploring and identifying the right solution to negotiation challenges that stand in the way of Vestas securing the business versus our competition. Over time you will gather a clear understanding of what you see as the market risk profile globally on many different commercial, contractual, technical, and financial issues


What we offer 
You will be operating daily in a progressive and culturally diverse team interacting at the highest levels. You will be part of a team who are based in Copenhagen, Denmark, which is prepared to lean-in, learn and move forwards collaboratively in a fast-evolving energy sector. The behaviors we aspire to evidence as a Contract Risk team are to listen, then test, to ensure opportunities and risks are balanced and proportionate. Cope with speed and ambiguity to maintain business rhythm and limit the situations where unknown risks arise later that compromise a project's growth. It's important to us that we get the people-mix right - that's why our recruitment process will enable those shortlisted candidates to meet with and hear from existing Contract Risk team members. 


Who are you, as of today? 
A legal counsel, aspiring to increase your commercial awareness at the sharp-end of a global business’s decision making
A contract or bid manager, aspiring to evolve your contractual skill set to more front-end/pre-signature work
A risk analyst, aspiring to grow your experience into the contractual landscape
Maybe you just aspire to get into renewables? 

DEIB Statement
At Vestas, we recognize the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion in driving innovation and success. We strongly encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply, particularly those who may hesitate due to their identity or feel they do not meet every criterion. As our CEO states, "Expertise and talent come in many forms, and a diverse workforce enhances our ability to think differently and solve the complex challenges of our industry". Your unique perspective is what will help us powering the solution for a sustainable, green energy future.
