Job Description

Gasfin is where engineering meets impact. Since 2009, we’ve been building and managing world-class LNG infrastructure projects across the globe—from the drawing board to real-world delivery. Our clients include governments, energy companies, and infrastructure operators, all working toward the same goal: secure, stable, and sustainable energy.

In 2023, we became the lead consultant and On-Site Operations Manager for Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH (DET)—Germany’s state-owned terminal operator, created to respond to the national energy supply challenges triggered by the Ukraine crisis.
We believe energy should be reliable, affordable, and future-ready. That’s why we view LNG as a powerful transition fuel on the path to greener energy systems.

Tasks

  • Manage and administer multiple small and medium-sized contracts across the full contract lifecycle (from tendering and award through execution and close-out).
  • Track contractual obligations, deliverables, milestones, and performance metrics across numerous parallel work packages.
  • Support procurement and tender processes for EPC and O&M related packages, including preparation of bid documentation, commercial evaluation, and contract award recommendations.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts and amendments (e.g., EPC sub-packages, supply agreements, logistics contracts, spare parts agreements, service contracts).
  • Monitor contractor performance and ensure compliance with contractual requirements, timelines, and budget constraints.
  • Coordinate closely with engineering, project management, logistics, legal, and finance teams to ensure alignment between contractual commitments and operational execution.
  • Identify and mitigate contractual risks, including liability exposure, performance guarantees, liquidated damages, and compliance requirements.
  • Manage variations, change orders, claims, and extensions of time (EOT), ensuring proper documentation and commercial assessment.
  • Maintain structured contract tracking tools (contract registers, obligation trackers, risk logs) to ensure transparency across multiple ongoing packages.
  • Support spare parts procurement, logistics coordination, and supplier management in operational or offshore environments, where applicable.
  • Contribute to commercial strategy by ensuring that contractual structures support project profitability and risk mitigation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, Law, or a related field.
  • 3–7 years of professional experience in:
  • EPC project environments (Engineering, Procurement & Construction), or
  • Procurement / contracts management of technical packages, or
  • Spare parts / logistics contract management in offshore wind, energy infrastructure, or comparable sectors.
  • Proven experience managing and tracking multiple small and medium-sized contracts simultaneously.
  • Hands-on experience in procurement processes, contract drafting, and negotiation of technical supply or service agreements.
  • Solid understanding of EPC structures, contract frameworks (e.g., FIDIC), and supplier management in infrastructure or energy projects
  • Experience in offshore wind, LNG, energy infrastructure, or comparable asset-heavy environments is highly desirable.
  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to identify contractual risks and mitigation measures.
  • Highly structured working style with the ability to maintain oversight across many parallel contract packages.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to interface between technical, legal, and commercial stakeholders.

About Gasfin

Founded in 2009 by LNG industry executives, Gasfin advises, develops and operates LNG infrastructure projects in the mid-scale segment – modular or end-to-end, cost-efficient and rapidly deployable.

Driven by technical excellence, agile structures and a solution-agnostic-approach we deliver future-compatible solutions – designed to meet today’s needs and enable tomorrow’s energy transition.

Since 2022, Gasfin has acted as lead consultant and On-Site Operations Manager for Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH (DET) the terminal operator established by the German government to safeguard energy security in Germany and Europe at times when this is no longer guaranteed or reliable.

What drives us:

We believe that secure, stable and affordable access to energy is fundamental to global progress, social stability and quality of life. This conviction is deeply personal to us. Two of our partners grew up in regions where electricity was a rare and unreliable resource – in the Bahamas and Zimbabwe, power outages, supply gaps and excessive energy costs were part of daily life.

These early experiences shape our entrepreneurial mission until today: focussing on mid-scale LNG infrastructure solutions that are modular and scalable, future-compatible and highly adaptive to energy market shifts all around the world. We don’t just prepare for today’s challenges – we help build tomorrow’s energy systems.

What we stand for:

Safety: Operational integrity and compliance are non-negotiable

Pragmatism: We solve problems with expertise, focus, speed, and flexibility

Partnership: We work transparently at eye level, for shared success

Sustainability: We build infrastructure that matters today and adapts for tomorrow
