Join the PowerShift
The Utility business unit at Svea Solar is responsible for utility scale (i.e., very large projects). Our solar park portfolio includes Fjällskär (20.7 MW), Sjöbo (18 MW), Hörby (18.2 MW), and others, accounting for 49 MW of operational assets and another 54 MW of assets under construction, including an agrivoltaic park construction in Hova. With such a volume of operations and the exciting complexity of the business, we are now looking for a **Senior Legal Counsel** to drive and shape the legal landscape of our solar park projects.
The Role
You will be responsible for managing and supporting Svea Solar's Utility business unit in all legal matters arising from contracts with business partners, construction, M&A, financing, land lease, energy contracts, disputes, and the corporate and regulatory framework. As a Senior Legal Counsel, you'll have a tangible impact on the success of the business and contribute to shaping the future of renewable energy through legal expertise and guidance. You will act as a legal business partner and work proactively to scale legal proficiency within Utility, such as educating stakeholders and improving processes and tools.
The scope of the responsibilities can be described with the following bullet point list:
- Supporting construction activities with legal matters on tenders, possible disputes and claims, and existing or new EPC agreements
- Advising or seeking external advice on legal matters relating to power purchase agreements (e.g., negotiations, preparations of contract templates)
- Supporting M&A transactions such as legal due diligence and transaction documents
- Reviewing and supporting processes within land lease and contacts with the landowners
- Supporting dispute and claims discussions
- Ensuring legal compliance and effective corporate governance together with the General Counsel legal team
The role reports directly to the General Counsel, Michaela Cronemyr, with a dotted line report to the Managing Director Utility, Pieter Godderis.
Are we a match?
We are a value-driven company, and it is essential that you can stand by our values while being a part of the team in a fast-paced environment. We are a great match if you describe yourself as a methodical and reliable professional who identifies areas of improvement and drives positive changes even in complex environments. Furthermore, you know what a really great output looks like, but choose the situations smartly, such as when to deliver high-quality output and when it is good enough.
To meet current business demands while providing room for professional growth, we believe that your experience should include:
- Strong legal experience in transaction-heavy environments, such as in a law firm working with various industries and customers
- Expertise in Nordic business law with experience preferably in areas of construction, real estate, or M&A
- Experience from a fast-growing company is highly desirable
- Completed university degree in law
- Fluency in English and Swedish
- Business-centric approach to legal matters
To thrive in the role, we believe you have the willingness to work hands-on and have the strategic skills and competence to take the lead on all things legal internally. As the legal function should support and enable our growth, we need a balance between improving our legal maturity and setting a high standard while simultaneously getting things done.
