We draw on our global position as one of the top construction companies globally, operating in over 25 countries and responsible for delivering some of the largest, most complex, and highly acclaimed projects globally under an integrated business model.

Our activities span all areas of engineering and construction – we are a world leader in successfully delivering civil works and transport infrastructure - roads, railways, airports, hydraulic and marine works, tunnels, bridges – as well as residential and non-residential buildings - hospitals, football stadiums, museums, corporate offices. Currently we're in the top 30 construction companies globally.

In Australia, FCC Construction looks to focus on a wide range of projects, including roads, rail, energy & social housing.

The Opportunity:

In this role, you will work closely with the Head of Legal, providing commercially relevant legal advice to the business across a broad range of issues, with a strong focus on contractual and compliance matters and legal support on tenders for new opportunities across a broad range of procurement models (including PPP and collaborative contract models).

You will contribute to navigating the complexities of projects and have a tangible impact on the success of the business, by supporting legal and regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, managing delivery claims and disputes.

Key aspects of this role include:

  • Contract Management: Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of project, tender and contract documentation and other commercial agreements.

  • Legal Advice: Provide advice on a wide range of legal issues, including front-end construction matters, back-end issues (defects, delays, and payments) and other corporate, property, employment law and regulatory matters.

  • Risk Management: Identify, assess, and manage legal and commercial risks, including advising on regulatory and compliance matters and insurance.

  • Dispute Resolution and claims management: Supporting project teams in claims administration and management, prepare and manage disputes and support alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes.

  • Research and Analysis: Conduct legal research on a wide range of issues and present practical and commercially astute legal solutions to business stakeholders.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Liaise with clients, experts, and internal teams, participate in client meetings, and collaborate with internal stakeholders to build strong working relationships.

  • Training & Business Development: Together with the Head of Legal, prepare and deliver legal updates and training to other parts of the business.

Key role requirements:

  • Completion of a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice (or equivalent).

  • Legal practicing certificate (or the ability to obtain one) in Queensland, NSW or Victoria.

  • 2-5 years of technical legal experience either from private practice, government or in-house working on construction and infrastructure projects.

  • The ability to provide commercially astute, pragmatic and concise advice.

  • The ability to manage a range of tasks, prioritise effectively and work autonomously where necessary, ensure that legal matters are handled in a timely and effective manner.

In addition to the above, we are looking for a resilient, self-starter. Someone who is able to work autonomously and is focused on attention to detail and providing an outstanding service to their internal stakeholders.  A proactive, confident, and team-oriented approach is crucial.

What's in it for you:

  • Generous leave policies to support wellbeing, and industry leading paid parental leave.

  • Access to flexible work arrangements.

  • A competitive remuneration package, with support for career progression and strong investment in professional development.

  • Access to employee assistance program for employees and families.

  • The opportunity to challenge yourself with exposure to a variety of legal areas.

  • Work with and learn from a Head of Legal with a collaborative and supportive leadership style, with a genuine understanding of flexibility and how to balance high-performance with a down-to-earth and pragmatic approach to work and life.

  • The opportunity to join and progress your career within a global construction industry leader, during the early stages of its expansion in Australia.
