Contract Analyst / Contract Reviewer
Full Job Posting
What You Bring
- Transaction Expertise: Proven experience reviewing, drafting, negotiating, or administering professional services agreements, consultancy appointments, master service agreements, work orders, or similar commercial contracts within the construction, infrastructure, engineering, real estate, or professional services sectors. You understand the architecture of a deal—how schedules, exhibits, and master agreements interact.

- Professional Influence: You can explain complex concepts to non-legal colleagues and manage multiple stakeholders effectively without losing sight of deadlines.

- Work-Life Balance: Move away from the "billable hours" grind of law firms and into a dynamic, corporate in-house environment that values efficiency over excessive hours.
- Impact: You will see the direct results of your work in the physical construction projects we deliver.
- Growth: This role is a platform for career growth into broader commercial management, project risk oversight, or senior-level contract operations.
- Work Arrangement This role is based in our Houston office and requires a hybrid presence of two to three days per week.
- B.S. Degree, and minimum of 2-5 years of experience in paralegal, contract analyst, or contract specialist, commercial risk roles within the construction or commercial real estate industry highly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience managing the full lifecycle of complex commercial contracts.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills suitable for managing high-level stakeholder relationships.
- Experience in contract development, supporting drafting bespoke contract schedules and clauses and reviewing contract documents prepared by others.
- Ability to liaise with and coordinate multiple stakeholders to develop robust contract documents.
- Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office products. Examples include Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, etc
