Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Clayton Utz Full time
The role


Propel your legal career by joining our market leading Major Projects and Construction practice in Melbourne, acting on high profile matters across the public and private sectors.


Working closely with our highly acclaimed Partners, known for their collaborative and supportive leadership style, you will have the opportunity to work on some of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects in the Asia-Pacific region across the energy, transport, defence, and telecommunications sectors.

Diversity, equality, and inclusion are central to the identity of Clayton Utz.

You will also discover that flexibility is an absolute priority and that many of our team members utilise varied formal and informal flexible arrangements.


In our MPC practice group, you will find a dynamic and supportive team, which provides unrivalled opportunities for career progression and balances high performance with a down-to-earth and pragmatic approach to work and life.

Skills & Experience

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • At least 2 years' post admission experience with a background in infrastructure project delivery, front-end construction law or major procurement
  • High quality private practice experience and/or exceptional experience working inhouse
  • Strong academic ability and drafting skills
  • The ability to provide timely, accurate and commercially astute advice
  • A strong sense of purpose, ambition and a proactive approach to your work
  • A desire to work within a dynamic, supportive and fastpaced team environment on city shaping infrastructure projects


In addition to this, we're looking for a resilient, self-starter who takes ownership of deliverables; someone who is able to work autonomously and is focused on attention to detail and providing outstanding service to our clients.
