Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the legal development and construction of stand-alone BESS projects in the Netherlands and Benelux. Provide generalist legal support for the group, including corporate structuring and regulatory tracking in the Dutch energy landscape.
Requires at least five years of experience as a lawyer or deputy notary with expertise in commercial contracting and construction frameworks like FIDIC or UAV-GC. Fluency in English is required, with a strong preference for knowledge of the Dutch energy-regulatory landscape.
Return is the leading European independent energy storage provider, committed to revolutionizing the energy sector. Headquartered in Amsterdam, with offices in Munich, Hamburg and Madrid, Return offers innovative, sustainable solutions to store and intelligently manage energy, ensuring power is used efficiently when and where it’s needed most. With a rapidly growing presence across Europe, Return is at the forefront of the energy transition, integrating large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) to support grid stability, renewable energy integration, and Europe's net-zero goals. Driven by a team of experts, Return aims to provide reliable energy storage that powers the future of clean energy.
Your Impact
As Senior Legal Counsel, you will take end-to-end leadership over the development and construction of stand-alone BESS projects in the Netherlands and the Benelux. You will be part of international multi-disciplinary teams in BESS development processes and the procurement of BESS components from international suppliers. As a generalist, you will also tend to day-to-day legal matters for the Return group. Together with our policy advisors, you will stay up to date on the regulatory framework and be involved in keeping BESS on the agenda in The Hague.
You will play a critical role in setting the legal framework within which Return can and should pursue complex, high-value projects. Your authority will be essential in resolving strategic issues, shaping execution methodologies and guaranteeing transaction security to Return and its counterparts.
What you will do
Advise on the full development and construction cycle of large-scale stand-alone BESS projects:
Permitting processes
Negotiation of procurement agreements (UAV-GC, FIDIC templates)
Advise on and own a wide variety of day-to-day legal matters for the group such as corporate structuring and supplier contracts
Track and advise on relevant developments in the Dutch legal landscape. Work with our policy advisors to set the political agenda with respect to BESS
Provide practical and strategic advice to project teams and act as the connecting link between (business-) development, procurement, construction and sales functions
The role is based in Amsterdam.
What you bring
At least five years of relevant experience as a lawyer or deputy notary with a law firm serving international customers
You are willing to work as a generalist but bring expert knowledge on commercial contracting, ideally with an emphasis on project development
Expertise in construction- or procurement contracts (UAV-GC, FIDIC, or comparable frameworks), highly preferable
Experience with infrastructure, renewable energy in particular, highly preferable
The ideal candidate is also up to date on the Dutch energy-regulatory landscape
Fluent in English with excellent drafting skills, capable of operating in an international environment. German skills a plus
Natural leadership and self-initiative. Able to take leadership in delivering complex infrastructure or energy projects, with strong authority, process/transaction oversight and stakeholder management
Willingness to travel within Europe occasionally
Not ticking all boxes? Do not let that put you off from applying if you can argue that you have the skills to master this position regardless.
What we offer you:
The opportunity to be at the center of the development and construction of our BESS pipeline
An exciting and challenging job in a future-oriented and dynamic company
Collaboration in an entrepreneurial company that actively contributes to the energy transition
An attractive workplace, entrepreneurial and committed team with flat hierarchies and steep learning curves
Flexible working hours and home office options, laptop/telephone arrangements and performance-related compensation
At Return, we don’t just talk about impact — we build it. You’ll join a passionate and skilled team where your contributions help shape real-world solutions and directly support a more sustainable future. Our entrepreneurial and collaborative culture is dedicated to accelerating the energy transition at scale.
