Bring your energy to Aggreko as Senior Legal Counsel based in Germany (Dorsten, Munich, Frankfurt, Leipzig or Hamburg – Hybrid). You’ll provide pragmatic legal support to Aggreko and its group companies, enabling business growth while effectively managing legal risk.

Power without pause. Heating, cooling and oil-free air without end. We keep our customers’ worlds on. From world-class events that last a few weeks to mining operations and remote communities who rely on us for decades.

What you’ll do as Senior Legal Counsel:

  • Draft, review and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements including terms & conditions, supply agreements, power purchase agreements and framework agreements

  • Provide day-to-day legal advice on commercial, regulatory and strategic matters across Germany and wider Europe

  • Ensure adherence to contract risk management policies and compliance frameworks

  • Build and manage relationships with external counsel, ensuring strong regional expertise and value for money

You are:

  • A qualified German lawyer with 8+ years’ post-qualification experience

  • Highly experienced in commercial law and contract negotiation within energy, infrastructure or related sectors

  • Fluent in German with business-level English (additional European languages are a plus)

  • Commercially minded, pragmatic and able to manage workload independently with sound judgement

  • Experienced working in project-based or regulated environments

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • A senior, high-impact role supporting complex energy projects across Europe

  • Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days per week in the office

  • Opportunities for career progression within a global organisation

  • Competitive salary and benefits package, including annual leave and bonus opportunities

  • The chance to work closely with senior stakeholders and be a key part of business growth and strategy
