Job Description:
We’re delighted to be partnering with a global engineering powerhouse, renowned for delivering some of the world’s most ambitious infrastructure and energy projects. They are offering a fantastic in-house opportunity for a talented Construction Lawyer (4–7 PQE) to join their team.
This is a rare opportunity to step into an in-house environment where you’ll work side by side with the business, directly influencing bids and projects that shape communities and industries.
* Contract: 3 months (with strong potential to extend)
* Experience: 4–7 years PQE (prior in-house experience welcome, but not essential if you bring strong construction expertise)
* Location: Hybrid – initially 3 days in office, with greater flexibility possible later
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Advising on and negotiating NEC/JCT contracts
* Drafting & amending professional services appointments, collateral warranties, PCGs, and related documents
* Supporting bid preparation and contractual queries
* While predominantly non-contentious, some involvement in commercial claims may arise
What are they looking for?
* E&W Qualified construction lawyer with a strong non-contentious background (4-7PQE, but happy to consider more experienced)
* Contentious experience is a plus
* Strong non-contentious experience across NEC/JCT contracts
* Public procurement bids experience is welcome
* Immediately available
What is on offer?
* Competitive package
* Excellent opportunity to work in a rare in-house construction role
* Opportunity to work in a collaborative, business-facing position rather than purely advisory
* Variety in your work — from procurement bids to commercial claims, no two days are the same
If you’re a construction lawyer looking for a new challenge, this is a unique opportunity to bring your expertise into an exciting in-house setting where your work will help shape major projects.
