Join the Tesla revolution. At Tesla, our mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy—and as a Senior Procurement & Contracts Specialist, Megapack, you will play a key role in shaping utility-scale battery energy storage projects across the APAC region.

You will represent the APAC Pre-Construction team within Megapack Sales, leading procurement, commercial risk management, and sourcing strategies across both upstream and downstream contracts for pipeline and awarded projects. This includes supporting equipment-only and EPC delivery models, with a strong focus on pre-construction deal structuring and contract formation.

Reporting to the Pre-Construction Manager, you will work from tender development through to contract execution as a senior individual contributor, collaborating closely with a highly motivated, cross-functional team. This role offers the opportunity to influence major commercial outcomes early in the project lifecycle while contributing to Tesla’s industry-leading energy solutions in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

  • Lead commercial engagement and negotiations with suppliers, contractors, and stakeholders during bid and pre-construction phases, to secure favourable terms and resolve contractual issues effectively.
  • Develop and implement procurement strategies and contracting strategies, manage RFQs, and coordinate tender responses for upstream (client-facing) and downstream (subcontractor) processes on assigned projects.
  • Identify risks and opportunities, ensuring that Tesla is making informed decisions and delivering the best value to the end customer.
  • Build and sustain strong relationships with internal teams, clients, suppliers, and external partners to facilitate seamless project progression.
  • Support smooth commercial handover from pre-construction into project delivery teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Law, Business, Supply Chain, or equivalent industry experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in senior procurement and contracts roles, with a preference for backgrounds in renewable energy (wind, solar, battery).
  • In-depth expertise in EPC contracts, procurement strategies, tender processes, and project management, with a drive for innovation.
  • Strong negotiation and communication skills, including proficiency in drafting commercial correspondence, extensions of time, variations, and procurement documentation.
  • A proactive self-starter with a passion for sustainable energy, adept at solving complex problems independently or collaboratively in team settings.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage priorities across multiple high-impact projects with minimal supervision in a dynamic environment.
  • Passion for renewable energy and Tesla’s mission.
