Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.
The Contract Manager will be responsible for negotiating, drafting, and managing complex lease agreements, real estate contracts, and construction contracts for a charging network infrastructure project, with a specific focus on aviation and airport/heliport related deployments.
