Across our headquarters in Asbury Park, New Jersey and our offices in New York City, Chicago, and Baltimore, Solar Landscape employees are building something that matters, deploying critical energy infrastructure that creates long-term value for communities, property owners, and the grid. Come join us.
Solar Landscape is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented EPC Counsel to join its legal team and support a broad range of commercial contracts and legal matters related to the development, construction, procurement, and operation of commercial solar and energy storage projects.
This role is ideal for a proactive attorney who enjoys working collaboratively across business functions, takes ownership of their work, and is interested in developing expertise in the renewable energy industry. The EPC Counsel will draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, advise on project-related legal and compliance matters, and work closely with internal teams to support project execution and business objectives. The position offers an opportunity to independently manage routine legal matters while gaining exposure to complex transactions, negotiations, and strategic legal issues.
Contract Drafting and Negotiation: Draft, review, and negotiate EPC agreements, construction subcontracts, professional services agreements, procurement and supply agreements, O&M agreements, amendments, assignments, and other commercial contracts. Maintain and update standard contract templates.
Construction, Procurement, and Project Support: Advise internal teams on contract interpretation, project delays, change orders, completion milestones, subcontractor and supplier performance, warranties, and other project-related issues.
Contractual Risk Management: Identify and evaluate contractual risks involving indemnification, insurance, limitations of liability, payment, termination, liquidated damages, and available remedies. Develop practical recommendations consistent with company objectives.
Regulatory and Compliance: Research and advise on applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including prevailing wage and apprenticeship, licensing, permitting, tax-credit-related compliance, and other regulatory matters affecting solar projects.
Commercial and Operational Agreements: Assist with O&M, asset management, and other commercial agreements supporting Solar Landscape's construction and operational activities.
Claims and Disputes: Support contract-related claims, payment disputes, subcontractor defaults, insurance matters, and litigation, including legal research, document review, and coordination with outside counsel.
Corporate and Transactional Support: Assist with contract assignments, consents, due diligence, and other transactional matters related to construction, procurement, and operations, as needed.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Procurement, Construction, Engineering, Development, Operations, Finance, and other internal teams to identify legal issues, provide practical, business-oriented advice, and support efficient project execution.
Legal Process Improvement: Contribute to developing standard negotiation positions, maintaining legal resources, and improving contract review and approval processes.
