About the Role

Aurizon Holdings Limited is seeking a highly skilled Legal Counsel to join our high-performing Legal team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for providing commercially driven legal advice to support our business units, which operate Australia's largest rail freight provider.

This is an exciting opportunity for a talented legal professional to extend their expertise to in-house practice in a broad range of commercial and operational legal work. You will work closely with other lawyers and paralegals, collaborating on a diverse range of legal matters that impact our business nationwide.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide legal support on a range of commercial matters, particularly in relation to revenue contracting, customer relationships, growth projects, and mergers and acquisitions.

  • Assist in the conduct and coordination of disputes and litigation as required, in conjunction with external legal advisers where necessary.
  • Support the development and implementation of improved business efficiencies through continuous improvement, innovation, and initiatives in the delivery of the legal function and across the business in areas which legal supports.
About You

We are looking for a qualified practitioner with a current practising certificate, admitted to practise as a Legal Practitioner in the Supreme Court of Queensland. You should have developed your expertise in private practice for at least 2 years and be ready to extend your expertise to in-house practice in a broad range of commercial and operational legal work.

Desirable background includes experience in a leading law firm, relevant in-house experience, and familiarity with commercial work across Australian jurisdictions. Experience advising on infrastructure assets, particularly in transportation, mining, or commodities industries, is a plus.

You should have a 'can do' attitude and be willing to practice across a broad range of areas, including procurement, construction, safety, competition law, disputes, and litigation. Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and build relationships, are essential.

Aurizon offers a dynamic, caring, and inclusive work environment, celebrating the contribution of every employee. We provide opportunities for career development, access to mentoring and development programs, and a range of benefits, including discounts on selected health insurance funds, personal travel, gyms, vehicles, and retail brands.

We are proud of our diverse, collaborative, creative, and high-performance culture, and we are committed to supporting the development and growth of our employees.
