Role Summary: The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) is a private limited company wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ). It plays a key role in transforming the UK's electricity system by helping to ensure future supply is secure, low carbon and affordable as the UK progresses towards Net Zero 2050. LCCC is the counterparty to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme, through which low carbon generation is supported to compete with conventional fossil fuel generation. There are now over 500 CfDs in total, spanning technologies including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and biomass conversion. LCCC also supports the Government's net zero ambitions by enabling and supporting tens of billions of pounds of investment in low carbon infrastructure. This is achieved through the development of contractual mechanisms that make First of a Kind (FOAK) projects investable. LCCC will be the counterparty to a growing range of new and bespoke schemes, including CCUS, Hydrogen, Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Nuclear, and other government mandated programmes. It is responsible for ensuring these schemes are constructed and operated as intended, preserving value for government and maintaining investor confidence. Given that LCCC is a not for profit organisation, this is not a typical contract or commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a bottom line, but instead by two guiding principles: to maintain investors' confidence in the CfD and wider scheme portfolio, and to minimise cost to consumers whilst enabling the delivery of low carbon projects. Principal Contract Managers (PCMs) are senior specialist roles within the Scheme Delivery directorate, defined by subject matter expertise rather than line management. PCMs act as subject matter experts across project delivery, technical assessment and commercial domains, and are the go to authority for complex contractual, project development, technical and commercial matters across the portfolio. In addition to core contract management responsibilities, PCMs support the wider directorate with complex issues arising across the portfolio. They work as part of a wider PCM cohort with complementary specialisms, helping to upskill colleagues, strengthen corporate resilience, and maintain consistent professional standards. This supports two key outcomes: a professional and consistent approach to contract interpretation and delivery, and robust, defensible contractual decision making when assessing complex project risks. The scope of a PCM's work is fluid and determined by their specialism. Depending on their expertise and team needs, a PCM may focus on day to day management of a portfolio of CfDs, support the development of commercial and contractual architecture for new FOAK schemes, or undertake a combination of both. In all cases, PCMs support wider Scheme Delivery and LCCC initiatives and regularly engage with internal stakeholders such as Legal, Data & Analytics and Finance, as well as external stakeholders including DESNZ, DfT, Ofgem and EMRS. Key Responsibilities The role combines specialist leadership across Scheme Delivery with responsibility for managing an assigned contract portfolio. Serve as a subject matter expert across technical, project development, commercial and contractual matters, providing authoritative advice and supporting the resolution of complex issues across Scheme Delivery. Work with peers to maintain shared professional standards, quality assurance and consistent contract interpretation, while developing guidance, process maps, best practice and lessons learned to strengthen capability across the wider contract management cohort. Lead or support technical and project development assessments, including reviewing claims, providing challenge, and making or recommending decisions in line with the Delegated Authority Framework. Support the development of scheme design, contractual architecture and key decisions by preparing analysis and advice for government stakeholders, including DESNZ, DfT and other clients. Manage an assigned portfolio of contracts, including day to day relationship management, contract administration, communications, reporting, site visits, document management, and oversight of scheme specific workload and tasks. Own and manage technical, commercial and contractual processes and issues across the portfolio, applying judgement in line with LCCC guidance to identify risks, resolve issues, prevent disputes, and elevate concerns or improvement opportunities where appropriate. Work collaboratively with counterparties, internal teams and external advisers to support project delivery, contract compliance, and readiness for payment commencement under the relevant scheme arrangements. Monitor construction progress, compliance requirements and key portfolio risks, and provide high quality analysis, reporting and advice to government and internal stakeholders on issues affecting contracts, projects or wider Scheme Delivery activities. Skills Knowledge and Expertise Essential Technical / Engineering track: STEM related degree and professional accreditation such as Chartered Engineer (preferred), with around 6 years of relevant experience; or 10 years of demonstrable technical, engineering, project development or project management experience in technologies relevant to the portfolio. Commercial / Financial track: Professional qualification in finance, accounting or commercial law (for example ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CFA), or a degree in economics, law, finance or a related discipline, with around 6 years of relevant experience; or 10 years of demonstrable experience in a commercial or legal lead role relevant to the portfolio. Technical or commercial knowledge relevant to the specialism, for example renewable and low carbon technologies, energy infrastructure, project finance, or government supported schemes. Excellent contract management and interpretation experience, including at least two of the following: contract review and interpretation, negotiation, change management and administration, or claims and dispute management. Good understanding of relevant legal, regulatory, commercial and contract management issues, with the judgement to analyse complex issues, develop practical solutions, and maintain effective working relationships. Superb financial management capability, including cost assurance, financial reporting oversight, audit support, and working knowledge of commercial value mechanisms such as gainshare or return arrangements. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical, commercial and contractual issues clearly to different audiences. Desirable Experience in the UK energy sector, including power generation, low carbon infrastructure, energy regulation, or government sponsored scheme delivery, supported by a good understanding of the current UK energy policy and regulatory landscape. Knowledge of Contracts for Difference (CfD) and/or experience of project finance transactions or project management. Experience of designing or advising on business models, contractual mechanisms or commercial architecture for first of a kind (FOAK) or government mandated schemes. Demonstrable ability to build and manage effective stakeholder relationships across multiple parties. Employee Benefits Annual performance based bonus, up to 10% 25 days annual leave, plus eight bank holidays Up to 8% pension contribution Financial support and time off for study relevant to your role, plus a professional membership subscription Employee referral scheme (up to £1500), and colleague recognition scheme Family friendly policies, including enhanced maternity leave and shared parental leave Free, confidential employee assistance, including financial management, family care, mental health, and on call GP service Three paid volunteering days a year Season ticket loan and cycle to work schemes Family savings on days out and English Heritage, gym discounts, cash back and discounts at selected retailers Employee resource groups

Role Summary: The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) is a private limited company wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. We play a key role in the transformation of the UK's electricity system by ensuring future supply is secure, low-carbon, and affordable as the UK progresses towards Net Zero 2050. We are the counterparty to the Contracts for Difference (CfD). The CfD is a scheme through which low-carbon generation is supported to compete with conventional fossil fuel generation. The CfD Scheme currently has over 500 CfD Agreements, spanning different technologies such as offshore wind, floating offshore wind, onshore wind, solar, tidal stream, geothermal, remote island wind, advanced conversion technology, and biomass conversion. At LCCC, we further support the Government's net zero ambitions through the development of contractual mechanisms that make First of a Kind (FOAK) projects investable, attracting billions of pounds of investments. We are the counterparty to contracts for Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS), and Nuclear schemes, and will be the counterparty to a growing range of other new and bespoke schemes such as, Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and other government-mandated programmes. We are responsible for ensuring these schemes are constructed and operated as intended, preserving value for money for government and consumers, whilst maintaining investors' confidence. We exist to help decarbonise the generation of electricity and make it more affordable for the future. Our work is central to the delivery of the Government's objective to achieve Net Zero target by 2050. Senior Contract Managers are responsible for the day-to-day relationship and contract management of their assigned portfolio of contracts. They take a leading role in the resolution of complex contractual and commercial issues, drawing on their experience to provide guidance to less experienced colleagues, and supporting the development of contract management capability through coaching, mentoring and where applicable, line management responsibilities. Given that LCCC is a not-for-profit organisation, this is not a typical contract or commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a bottom line, but instead by two guiding principles: to maintain investors' confidence in the schemes and to minimise cost to consumers, whilst enabling the delivery of the projects. Under each individual contract we share common objectives with our counterparties, and based on the long-term nature of the contracts, relationship management is a significant part of the Senior Contract Manager's role. Interaction with counterparties is frequent during the contract lifecycle (20+ years), and particularly during the initial 4-5 years, when projects are going through the development and construction phases. Senior Contract Managers often communicate with their respective counterparties on a weekly/fortnightly basis when they are close to achieving contractual milestones, and less frequently once the projects are in operation. Site visits to each project are also undertaken at least once a year and provide a unique opportunity to gain exposure to several leading-edge technologies implemented as part of the multimillion/billion GBP projects. The Senior Contract Managers also lead wider Scheme Delivery Team and LCCC initiatives, and regularly interface with both internal (Legal, Data & Analytics, Finance, etc.) and external (Ofgem, EMRS, DESNZ etc.) stakeholders. Key Responsibilities Enabling the delivery of contracts, from signature into operations, so that the project delivers its low carbon energy (renewable power generation, hydrogen production, CCUS) Day-to-day relationship and contract management of assigned contracts (circa 20 projects, ranging in value from c.£50m to £1bn) and associated workload and tasks, including site visits, communications and document management, and reporting Owning and managing all contractual processes and issues, including taking a leading role in the resolution of complex contractual matters, identifying and resolving potential disputes, and escalating emerging issues or suggested improvements when appropriate Applying judgement to the management of the contracts, based on LCCC's overarching interpretation of the contract and in line with LCCC guidance Working collaboratively with counterparties to satisfy contract requirements and project management to enable the commencement of payments under the respective contract Understanding the financial and technical analysis and being able to competently procure and manage external advisers to conduct this on LCCC's behalf where necessary Providing analysis and advice in relation to existing and/or new schemes or other LCCC functions Advising on contractual and relationship management matters and supporting the development of junior members of the team (Contract Managers and Assistant Contract Managers) through coaching, mentoring, and where applicable, line management of up to two direct reports Skills Knowledge and Expertise Essential A self-starting technical / commercial contract manager with relevant commercial experience of the operational delivery of construction or energy projects. Operational contract management experience should include, contract: reviews negotiation change management and administration claim/dispute management and settlement technical knowledge of engineering in wind, solar, biomass, waste, tidal stream, hydrogen, CCUS or related / comparable technologies Demonstrable ability to maintain multiple stakeholder relationships and undertake stakeholder management. Experience of relevant legal, regulatory and contract management issues. Commercial acumen with experience of analysing and developing solutions to collaboratively solving complex commercial and contractual issues (multiple £m's) whilst maintaining relationships. Excellent communication and influencing skills (verbal, written, presentation) enabling the clear explanation of complex commercial and contractual issues.

Role Summary: The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) is a private limited company wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. We play a key role in the transformation of the UK's electricity system by ensuring future supply is secure, low-carbon, and affordable as the UK progresses towards Net Zero 2050. We are the counterparty to the Contracts for Difference (CfD). The CfD is a scheme through which low-carbon generation is supported to compete with conventional fossil fuel generation. The CfD Scheme currently has over 500 CfD Agreements, spanning different technologies such as offshore wind, floating offshore wind, onshore wind, solar, tidal stream, geothermal, remote island wind, advanced conversion technology, and biomass conversion. At LCCC, we further support the Government's net zero ambitions through the development of contractual mechanisms that make First of a Kind (FOAK) projects investable, attracting billions of pounds of investments. We are the counterparty to contracts for Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS), and Nuclear schemes, and will be the counterparty to a growing range of other new and bespoke schemes such as, Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and other government-mandated programmes. We are responsible for ensuring these schemes are constructed and operated as intended, preserving value for money for government and consumers, whilst maintaining investors' confidence. We exist to help decarbonise the generation of electricity and make it more affordable for the future. Our work is central to the delivery of the Government's objective to achieve Net Zero target by 2050. Senior Contract Managers are responsible for the day-to-day relationship and contract management of their assigned portfolio of contracts. They take a leading role in the resolution of complex contractual and commercial issues, drawing on their experience to provide guidance to less experienced colleagues, and supporting the development of contract management capability through coaching, mentoring and where applicable, line management responsibilities. Given that LCCC is a not-for-profit organisation, this is not a typical contract or commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a bottom line, but instead by two guiding principles: to maintain investors' confidence in the schemes and to minimise cost to consumers, whilst enabling the delivery of the projects. Under each individual contract we share common objectives with our counterparties, and based on the long-term nature of the contracts, relationship management is a significant part of the Senior Contract Manager's role. Interaction with counterparties is frequent during the contract lifecycle (20+ years), and particularly during the initial 4-5 years, when projects are going through the development and construction phases. Senior Contract Managers often communicate with their respective counterparties on a weekly/fortnightly basis when they are close to achieving contractual milestones, and less frequently once the projects are in operation. Site visits to each project are also undertaken at least once a year and provide a unique opportunity to gain exposure to several leading-edge technologies implemented as part of the multimillion/billion GBP projects. The Senior Contract Managers also lead wider Scheme Delivery Team and LCCC initiatives, and regularly interface with both internal (Legal, Data & Analytics, Finance, etc.) and external (Ofgem, EMRS, DESNZ etc.) stakeholders.
