Contracts Specialist Jobs

A Contracts Specialist in the utilities industry is responsible for managing and overseeing all aspects of contract agreements for utilities services. These professionals draft, negotiate, and manage contracts, ensuring they meet legal requirements and protect the organization's interests. They work closely with stakeholders to understand needs, translate them into contract requirements, and ensure the contracts are executed and adhered to effectively. The role involves a high level of cross-functional collaboration, including working with procurement, legal, and finance teams.

Along with a Bachelor's degree in Business or a related field, they should ideally have an understanding of the utilities sector, governmental regulations, and contract law. Strong project management, negotiation, and communication skills are critical for this role. An understanding of contract creation software can also be beneficial. Certifications like the Certified Commercial Contracts Manager (CCCM) or Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM) from the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) can provide an edge in the job market. Prior roles that can lead to a Contracts Specialist position include Contract Administrator, Procurement Specialist, or Legal Assistant in the utilities or related industries.
