US Legal Counsel/Assistant General Counsel Regulatory Law

RWE Offshore Wind Services, LLC
To start as soon as possible, full time, permanent
Functional area: Legal / Compliance
We are looking for an experienced, motivated, and confident Legal Counsel/Assistant General Counsel to support RWE’s fast-growing U.S. Offshore Wind business. As a Legal Counsel/Assistant General Counsel within the global Regulatory Law team, you will be the second U.S.-based lawyer with a Regulatory Law focus. You will work alongside a small team of ~5-7 other lawyers/paralegals supporting regulatory, corporate, transactional, and procurement matters and closely cooperate with other departments to deliver holistic and streamlined legal support to the U.S. RWE Offshore Wind business.
Responsibilities:
- Providing legal support associated with RWE’s participation in federally administered offshore wind lease auctions and state administered offtake solicitations, including drafting and reviewing solicitation bid materials and responses to requests for information following bid submission.
- Advising on the legal implications and feasibility of different offtake structures (e.g., PPA, OREC) and coordinating with the Government Relations teams on communications to state agencies and policymakers on the advantages and disadvantages of different structures and different offtake solicitation requirements.
- Assisting with preparation and review of formal filings and other public comments in transmission planning efforts, such as those led by state public utility commissions or RTOs/ISOs.
- Participating in the formation of permitting strategies and advising the development team on federal and state permitting processes, such as those under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Marine Mammals Protection Act, New York Article VII, and California Environmental Quality Act.
- Serving as a first point of contact of assigned projects within the legal team, working closely with the Development, Finance, Partnering, External Relations, Credit Risk, Tax, and Permitting teams (among others), for legal advice and coordinating specialized in-house and external legal advice in a cost and work efficient manner.
- Overseeing all legal matters relating to assigned projects (including legal matters covered by other specialized lawyers) and advising senior management about all related legal risks, including claims and disputes.
- Providing legal support (including liaising with external counsel) in relation to any administrative appeals.
- Driving standardization and process improvement initiatives within the US Offshore Wind team and also the larger global Legal team.
- Developing non-standard, customized solutions when needed to address complex project challenges.
Position will require:
- A comprehensive, experience-based working knowledge of federal and state regulatory programs related to transmission planning and interconnection and with development permitting, especially in the context of large-scale, high-value infrastructure projects (renewables and in particular offshore wind experience, including with respect to offshore wind offtake solicitations, is desirable but is not a pre-requisite).
- Experience interacting with regulatory officials and demonstrated success of doing so collaboratively to achieve desired outcomes.
- A comprehensive understanding of administrative law principles and core federal laws relevant to RWE’s US Offshore Wind business, such as the FPA, OCSLA, NEPA, MMPA; expertise in relevant state laws in regions where RWE is developing projects (e.g., NY, CA) would be beneficial, but is not a pre-requisite.
- Close alignment and cooperation with other members of RWE’s Offshore Wind Legal team, including both colleagues supporting the US market and also the larger global portfolio, based in locations across Europe and the APAC region.
- Close alignment with the wider Offshore Wind business, including key stakeholders from other internal departments such as Transmission, Development, Permitting Finance, Government Relations, Tax/Accounting, Insurance, Credit Risk, Communications, and External Affairs.
- Demonstrated ability to apply a practical rather than theoretical focus to legal issues with a view to finding viable business solutions.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
- Either a physical presence in proximity to one of RWE’s primary Offshore Wind offices in the US (Boston, MA or others) or a willingness to travel to Boston at least one week per month. Periodically, additional travel, including to Germany and other locations in Europe, will also be necessary.
Skills and Experience:
- Qualified as a lawyer in the US; preferred jurisdictions include New York, Massachusetts, and California, but other states are also potentially acceptable.
- At least 5 years of work experience as a lawyer in a well-recognized law firm or in-house counsel for a company working within either in the energy sector or with a focus of working on complex international infrastructure projects.
- Significant expertise working on complex regulatory matters, such as before FERC, state public utility commissions, BOEM, NOAA, EPA, or state environmental permitting agencies, particularly with respect to large, complex infrastructure projects.
- Renewables experience (and offshore wind experience in particular) would be beneficial but is not a pre-requisite, however the qualified candidate will be able to demonstrate a desire to become an expert in this field.
- Motivated worker and problem solver with the ability to handle multiple tasks, take on new responsibilities and organize tasks effectively in a dynamic environment.
- Commercial and technical understanding of large industrial projects and a good understanding how to best support them from the legal point of view.
- Exemplary organizational, analytical and communication skills and a solution-oriented and positive mindset.
- A high level of engagement, a strong team contributor, and ability to work both individually and as part of a wider cross-functional team.
- Enjoys working in an international team and open to some work-related travel, both domestic and international.
- Some project management or project leadership experience would be beneficial.
What we can offer you:
- The opportunity to work on high profile and complex offshore wind projects.
- Varied and interesting work that contributes to the green energy transition.
- A positive, dynamic and supportive work environment.
- A flexible working time and location arrangement.
- A setting that encourages you to come forward with ideas.
- Room for growth and development within the company.
