Job Description

About Us

We are a dynamic Industrial Project Management firm specializing in industrial building projects- structures on solar and wind farms, data centers, warehouses, operations & maintenance buildings. We operate in high-stakes environments with rigorous safety standards and high complexity. We expect our team to own it . If you’re someone who takes full accountability, thrives in fast-paced construction contracting, and has a strong risk-mindset, you’ll fit right in.

Position Summary

The Contract Review Specialist will support the review, analysis, negotiation and administration of contracts for construction projects within our Structures division. You will work closely with project teams, sales, estimating, and operations, to ensure contracts support project execution, control risk, enforce safety and compliance, and reflect company objectives (cost, schedule, quality). This role is pivotal in ensuring our contracts not only “check the boxes” but actively enable project success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review, draft and negotiate prime contracts, amendments, change orders, etc., for building/industrial construction projects.
  • Analyze contract terms and conditions for risk exposure: scope, schedule, performance, payment, safety, warranty, indemnity, insurance, termination, change-orders.
  • Liaise with project leadership to understand project execution risks and ensure contracts reflect those considerations.
  • Maintain and update contract templates and playbooks aligned with company standards and best practices.
  • Administer contract execution: tracking signatures, ensuring insurance & bonding compliance, maintaining contract logs, distributing contract deliverables to stakeholders.
  • Support change management: review change order impacts on contract terms, negotiate appropriate amendments or supplements.
  • Work with executives, sales, finance and operations to develop and implement contract strategy in line with business goals.
  • Monitor contract performance, drive remediation of non-compliance, escalate risks proactively.
  • Provide training and guidance to internal stakeholders on contract language, obligations and compliance.
  • Continuously improve process, tools and workflows to streamline contract review and execution.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Business, Legal Studies or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5 + years of contract review/analysis/administration experience within the construction industry (ideally on building/industrial projects, not purely commercial).
  • Demonstrated experience with construction contracts (prime and subcontracts), familiar with construction terms, change orders, performance clauses, warranties, safety risk language.
  • Strong negotiation skills and ability to engage effectively with operations, sales, estimating and executives.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to clearly interpret and explain contract obligations to non‐legal stakeholders.
  • High level of accountability, detail orientation, ability to work under pressure and handle multiple concurrent contract streams.
  • Proficiency with contract management systems, MS Office, PDF markup tools; familiarity with project management software is a plus.
  • Ability to travel occasionally to job sites as needed.

Bonus Points

  • Formal contract management certification (e.g., National Contract Management Association (NCMA) certification) or comparable professional credential.
  • Experience in renewable energy construction, industrial structures, data centers.
  • Experience working in remote job-site environments or with mobile/hybrid teams.
  • Knowledge of construction insurance, bonding, surety, and safety standards.
  • Enjoys paintball, corn hole, ping-pong and/or pickleball competitions

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus.
  • Comprehensive benefits: medical/dental/vision, retirement plan, PTO, etc.
  • Opportunity to support a key functional role in a growth-oriented company and influence contract strategy across large, complex projects.
  • Professional development: exposure to industrial/renewable build, senior leadership interface, process improvement.
  • Culture that values accountability, collaboration and fun—serious about our work and serious about enjoying it.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume by email to ajordan@mba-nrg.com along with a short summary of two construction contracts you’ve reviewed or negotiated (without confidential details) highlighting the risk challenges you identified and how you mitigated them.

In the subject line include: “Contract Review Specialist – Your Name” .
