About the Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Paralegal to join the in-house legal team of a fast-growing UK infrastructure and clean energy business focused on supporting the decarbonisation of commercial transport.
The business is developing a nationwide network of clean energy hubs across the UK, supporting technologies including EV charging, hydrogen, HVO and bio-CNG infrastructure.
This is a rare opportunity to join a scaling business at an early stage and work closely with senior leadership on a broad range of commercial, governance and property-related legal matters.
