Join Vestas’ Global Contract Management team and help shape how large scale wind projects are delivered worldwide. This is a strategic, global role focused on improving standards, governance, and commercial discipline across onshore and offshore projects.

Sales > Global Customer Project Execution > Global Contract Management

Customer Project Execution, CPX, is responsible for Vestas’ end to end customer project delivery, partnerships, and accountability for Power Plant Solutions across both Onshore and Offshore wind turbine projects, enabling sustainable energy solutions across five global regions.

Within CPX, Contract Management is essential for safeguarding commercial value through global standards, enhanced governance, and consistent, disciplined execution across regions. The Global Contract Management team acts as a centre of knowledge, driving alignment, improving processes, and supporting regional teams in effective contract execution, risk mitigation, and value optimisation.

This is a global, strategic function. It is not site based or transactional and does not manage individual project contracts. Instead, the team focuses on continuous improvement, capability building, and raising the overall maturity of contract management across Vestas’ project portfolio. By turning project experience into scalable best practice, the function helps safeguard value, reduce risk, and improve delivery performance worldwide.

We are looking for someone who understands the realities of project delivery and is ready to help shape how contract management is done now and in the future.
