JOB DESCRIPTION

About the Role

At NOV Subsea Production Systems, we believe that operational excellence starts with strong foundations - and that includes how we manage our vendor and service contracts. That's why we're looking for a Contract Specialist who will become the central hub for all third-party agreements across our plant operations.

This role goes far beyond administration. You'll act as the strategic link between our Procurement and technical teams, legal advisors, and external partners - ensuring every contract is duly negotiated, clear, compliant, and performance-driven. Whether it's fast-tracking emergency equipment rentals, negotiating service SLAs, or preventing costly contract loopholes, your work will directly impact uptime, safety, and profitability.

If you're detail-oriented, thrive in cross-functional environments, and want to make a tangible difference in how a complex industrial operation runs - this is your opportunity to step into a high-impact role at the heart of SPS operations.
