Contract Analyst – Maraen Holdings
About Maraen Holdings
Maraen Holdings is a leading provider of integrated port infrastructure, fabrication, and industrial services to the energy sector. Following acquisition by Mitsui and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Maraen is expanding its role in the Energy Transition and Renewables markets, with a strong pipeline of offshore and onshore energy projects.
The role will involve providing contractual expertise across both pre-contract and post-award phases, embedded within the Commercial team and spanning Maraen’s port, fabrication, IRM, and access businesses.
The Role
You will join a team shaping low carbon energy infrastructure in the UK and internationally. As a Contract Analyst, your key responsibilities include:
Key Accountabilities
- Review, analyse, and mark up contract documents (NDAs, MSAs, NEC contracts, bespoke client terms, and subcontract forms), identifying deviations from Maraen’s standard commercial positions.
- Develop structured contract qualifications for tender submissions, ensuring deviations on liability, indemnity, insurance, and payment terms are justified.
- Support pre-contract negotiations by preparing redline mark-ups, position papers, and negotiation strategies in collaboration with the Head of Commercial and legal advisers.
- Administer live contracts across Maraen’s project portfolio, ensuring compliance with notification requirements, change control procedures, and contractual obligations.
- Issue and manage contractual notices, early warnings, and compensation event submissions, particularly under NEC and FIDIC frameworks.
- Maintain comprehensive contract records and audit trails across all projects to support dispute avoidance and commercial governance.
- Identify and escalate liability exposure, insurance gaps, and commercial risk, providing structured recommendations to the Head of Commercial.
- Support the development and maintenance of Maraen’s standard contracting positions, including liability caps, indemnity structures, consequential loss, IP, data protection, and step-in rights.
- Review and onboard subcontract arrangements, ensuring compliance with client obligations and HSEQ requirements.
- Provide contract interpretation support to operational and project delivery teams.
- Contribute to post-award commercial reviews and lessons-learned processes to improve future contracting strategy and risk management.
