Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Sonder Consultants Full time

Top-tier work. Collaborative team. No red tape.

We're working exclusively with a leading law firm looking to hire two Projects and Construction Associates (4–8 PQE) into its Sydney office. The first specialising in front-end advisory work, and the second in construction disputes.

The Roles:

You'll advise clients on front-end projects across:

  • Transport (rail, road, metro), social infrastructure, water and waste
  • Energy transition (renewables, storage, transmission) and conventional power
  • Major precincts and PPPs
  • Complex procurement strategies, project delivery and risk allocation
  • Drafting and negotiating EPC/EPCM, D&C, O&M, facilities management and interface agreements
  • Providing strategic advice to clients, including institutional investors, developers, and private equity funds.

OR

You'll advise and represent clients on contentious matters across:

  • Major infrastructure, transport, energy, and resources projects
  • Complex construction and engineering disputes, including delay, disruption, and defect claims
  • Security of Payment adjudications, expert determinations, and arbitration proceedings
  • Supreme Court and Federal Court litigation

Why this team?

  • The team is high-performing but genuinely down-to-earth
  • Clear path for progression and strong mentorship
  • Competitive salary + bonuses + hybrid working

You'll be a great fit if you:

  • Are a qualified lawyer in Australia, New Zealand, or the UK
  • Have 4–8 years' post-admission experience in front-end projects and construction or disputes
  • Are commercially savvy, collaborative, and confident running matters
