About the Company

Petroleum Development Oman is the leading exploration and production company in the Sultanate of Oman. The Company delivers the majority of the country's crude oil production and natural gas supply.
 

Purpose of the Job

An excellent opportunity to work in Oman’s fast-paced energy industry.  The PDO legal team supports PDO in at all its facets as it thrives through the energy transition.  In this role you will have the opportunity to work independently and have a high impact by providing legal services to PDO’s new projects and major contracts.  You will be an integral part of the PDO team looking after contract strategy, awarding those contracts and managing the activities thereafter.  This is a core part of the PDO business, and it is clear this is a very dynamic and hands-on part of the PDO organization.  You will often have to pro-actively engage with senior leaders across PDO to ensure risk-based and high-quality legal strategies to help PDO make informed decisions.  This is a great opportunity for early career lawyers – inhouse or in a law firm – to be part of a large legal team and benefit from the learning opportunities that this provides.  

Education & Experience

• Bachelors’ Degree in a Law 
• Minimum 4 years relevant legal experience gained in a commercial enterprise or in private legal practice.
• Experience in supply chain / C&P in large and complex organizations with global supply operations would be appreciated. 
• Must be fluent in both written and oral legal English
 

Main Responsibilities

  • Provide sound, pro-active and quality legal advice and services to PDO and with a focus on the Contracting & Procurement and the Project teams when requested or as appropriate, having due regard for the needs of the business. 
  •  Advise on, draft, review and negotiate various types of tender documents and contracts and related legal documents (e.g. Well Engineering Services, EPC Contracts, Construction Contracts, Supply of Goods and Services, Confidentiality Agreements, Performance Bonds and Parent Company Guarantees). 
  •   Review contractual claims and disputes with counterparties, by providing sound and quality legal analysis and interpretation of facts, contract terms and conditions and applicable laws.
  •  Facilitate discussions with Tenderers and Contractors on legal and contractual matters and settlements and claims in a fair and auditable manner.
  •  Research and advise on complex legal issues in Upstream Operations and make recommendations to management on appropriate solutions and actions. 
  •  Assist the Team Lead in ensuring timely updates of C&P Terms & Conditions in line with international best practices and Omani law requirements.
  • Provide sound, timely and quality legal advice and services to other teams when requested or as appropriate, having due regard for the needs of the business.
  • Ensure compliance by PDO in the conduct of its affairs with the laws of Oman and with generally accepted and applicable rules, regulations and standards of the oil & gas industry. 
  • Liaise with external legal counsel matters on behalf of the Company.
