The Company
Our client is a multi-award winning global construction company that develops and manages major engineering and construction projects internationally and across Australia. It is a highly regarded and respected leader in this space.
Following a series of acquisitions, the company is currently in a high growth phase and in the midst of launching a variety of new and exciting projects. The culture across the business is collaborative, energetic and team-oriented.
The Role
As a result of an increased pipeline of work, our client is looking for a confident and capable construction lawyer to provide legal and strategic advice in two of its key engineering businesses.
Reporting directly to the Senior Legal Counsel, you will assist with projects end to end with exposure to project tender activity and project delivery, claims assistance and disputes. You will negotiate, draft and respond to requests for tender, participate in JV discussions, prepare downstream contracts and review due diligence. You will also be responsible for disputes avoidance, Security of Payment Act claims and contracts administration across the business.
This role gives you the chance to use your legal expertise to impact the business, work in a high-performing team and manage multiple internal and external stakeholders. This is a rare opportunity to advance your career and strengthen your legal and commercial skills in a multi-faceted and established global business.
The Candidate
You will have a minimum of 3 years PAE with experience in front and back end construction and major projects at a leading law firm or similar in-house position. You will enjoy getting your hands dirty, dealing with people at all levels and working on challenging projects.
You will know how to negotiate, how to influence and you’ll be driven and commercial. If you love working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you don’t sweat the small stuff and know how to be flexible, then this could very well be the role for you.
You will enjoy a supportive team environment, being at the forefront of the construction boom and receive fantastic career development opportunities working on exciting ground-breaking projects.
