We specialize in facilitating access to clean baseload power, aiming to break the stalemate in traditional energy methods and pave the way for a sustainable energy future.

As we eagerly grow our innovative solutions in the nuclear energy field, we’re excited to welcome a Contract Manager to our team! In this role, you’ll take charge of creating, negotiating, and finalizing contracts related to small modular reactors (SMR). Your responsibilities will span from the start of projects through to licensing, execution, start-up, testing, commissioning, and even contract closeout, along with managing contract warranties. You will collaborate closely with our Chief Development Officer (CDO), General Counsel, and engage with legal entities to ensure that all contract development and management meets Elementl’s standards.

Act as the corporate procurement lead for Elementl's Program Management Office (PMO) projects, shaping plans and executing comprehensive contract management operations, including the initial qualification, selection processes, bidding, evaluations, and contract negotiations.

What you'll bring!

The preferred candidate will possess a degree in business, but pure sciences or engineering is preferred, and have 7 to 10 years of experience in procurement, contract negotiation, management, and administration, with a strong emphasis in the procurement of: technical and engineering services; owner's engineering firms; general contractors; engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms; and contractors and vendors that provide environmental site survey and analysis, geotechnical and subsurface exploration and analysis, landman services, and land drilling. A strong understanding of commercial terms and conditions typical of procuring these types of services is a must. While procurement experience in the commercial nuclear field is advantageous, it is not a requirement.

Your excellent organizational skills and sharp attention to detail will be crucial as you connect with key counterparties. As the Elementl Subject Matter Expert in contract management, you'll collaborate regularly with pertinent legal teams and provide advice to the Executive Team on contract matters. If you have outstanding problem-solving abilities and can skillfully engage with counterparts while addressing commercial challenges with finesse, we’d be thrilled to hear from you!
