About You

You will be a technically sharp, commercially savvy lawyer with at least 5-7+ years PAE in construction, infrastructure, or major projects. You will be confident managing matters, but still keen to learn and grow. You will enjoy the responsibility of client-facing work, and you want to build a career, alongside the industry's best.

- Proven experience drafting and negotiating front-end project contracts

- The ability to navigate complex regulatory and commercial frameworks

- Clear, persuasive communication skills

- Confidence and experience working with a range of stakeholders, from contractors to government

- A proactive mindset, curiosity, and genuine interest in growing a practice

The Role

- Learn directly from a standout leader in the field - known for integrity, mentorship, and results

- Work on diverse, high-value projects that make a real impact

- Autonomy to run matters while being supported when it counts

- Flexible working

This is your opportunity to step into a senior role where you're trusted, challenged, and supported - all while working with some of the best in the game.
