In this 24-month Fixed-Term Contract as a Senior Contract Administrator, you'll play a pivotal role in overseeing the contractual aspects of the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning phases.

This dynamic role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge renewable energy projects while making a tangible impact on project outcomes.

• Where you'll be doing it

Our client, a leading independent power producer in South Africa, is at the forefront of developing, financing, and operating commercial renewable energy generation facilities.
