Job Description

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Senior Legal Counsel to join our APAC Legal, Ethics and Compliance team, supporting Egis' operations in Australia and New Zealand.

Reporting to the APAC General Counsel, this role provides independent, solution-focused advice across contracts, compliance, litigation, insurance and risk management.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Review, draft and negotiate contracts, including for major projects.
  • Provide legal advice on disputes, litigation and risk management strategies.
  • Manage relationships with external counsel, regulators, and insurers.
  • Monitor and interpret legislative changes impacting the business.
  • Support renewal of insurance policies and manage insurer notifications.
  • Deliver training and foster a culture of ethics and compliance.
  • Represent the ANZ region in collaboration with APAC and Group legal teams.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

  • Demonstrated experience in contract negotiation, dispute management, litigation and major projects.
  • Background in consulting, engineering, or construction projects.
  • Strong people skills with the ability to influence and build trusted relationships.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
  • Admission as a solicitor in Australia.
  • A proactive, sleeves-up team player with a positive, can-do attitude and no ego.
  • High levels of integrity, professionalism and adaptability.

Additional Information

Egis is committed to building an inclusive, flexible and innovative workplace. We offer generous parental leave, support for flexible working arrangements, and a collaborative environment where employees can connect, grow and succeed.

As we continue to expand across Australia and New Zealand, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of our journey and contribute to impactful projects both locally and across the APAC region.
