We welcome applications from lawyers with a minimum 3-6 years PQE. Ideally, you will have specialist major projects and infrastructure industry experience and are looking to cement your career in a Tier 1 practice.

Our Team

MinterEllison is one of very few firms in the Australian market with a comprehensive integrated Construction, Infrastructure and Project Finance capability capable of handling the complete range of work across the full lifecycle of a project from finance arrangements and business case development to project documentation, contract administration and dispute resolution.

The team's Partners are recognised as leaders in the construction and PPP industry for their commerciality and their depth of knowledge and expertise. A position within the team therefore offers the opportunity to learn from the best. While this role is based in Melbourne, you will work on a range of projects in Victoria and nationally. There will be close contact with other leading lawyers working in the broader national team on large scale projects within other jurisdictions.

Our client base is diverse and they come to us for innovative solutions to their individual project needs, delivered by some of the most prominent lawyers in the sector.

The team advises on major infrastructure projects crossing education, healthcare, energy, aerospace and transportation sectors. The client base spans both public and private sectors - unquestionably among the largest project owners in Australia. The Minters team is consistently engaged for the most demanding matters in the market.

Examples of projects include Melbourne Metro, Westgate Tunnel, Melbourne Airport Rail Link, Sydney Metro, Footscray Hospital, Suburban Rail Loop, and many other complex infrastructure projects in the transport, health, education and correctional sectors.
