We are exclusively supporting a leading international renewable energy company who are looking to appoint a Legal Counsel (Construction / EPC) to support their expanding portfolio of solar projects across the UK.
Operating across the full project lifecycle from early-stage development, EPC delivery and storage integration through to O&M and asset management, the business is widely recognised for its technical innovation, quality and sustainable growth.
As the company continues to scale its UK footprint, it is creating a new legal role to sit alongside the UK leadership team and work in close collaboration with colleagues across Europe.
The Role
This is a hands-on position focused on providing commercial and construction support for UK solar projects.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Drafting and negotiating EPC contracts for utility-scale solar (20–80MW+).
* Supporting procurement and supplier agreement negotiations.
* Acting as the primary UK point of contact for legal and commercial matters.
* Partnering closely with project, engineering and commercial teams.
* Working with senior leadership in the UK, with a dotted line to the European General Counsel.
The candidate
* A junior–mid level construction or projects lawyer (private practice or in-house background).
* Strong experience with front-end EPC or construction contracts.
* Exposure to solar, renewables or wider energy infrastructure is highly advantageous.
* Commercial, pragmatic and comfortable operating in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment.
This is a great opportunity to join a mission-driven renewable energy company at a pivotal stage of its growth, with the potential to evolve into a senior legal role over time.
