With a fleet of state-of-the-art vessels and advanced geotechnical capabilities, we specialise in seabed investigation, data analysis and the provision of engineering expertise that enable safe and efficient offshore operations worldwide.

Why Join Us?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Legal Counsel based in Bristol to join the busy in-house legal team of a high growth international company which operates globally in the fast-paced Renewable Energy sector.

In this varied and interesting role, you will be working with senior executives in the business together with internal stakeholders and external partners across a range of commercial matters.

* Risk & Compliance: Ensure that legal risks are clearly identified and communicated. You'll support group-wide compliance with laws and regulations on company governance, procurement, data privacy, sanctions and more.
* Process & Policy Development: Develop and refine standard terms to align with legal and commercial goals. Offer clear, pragmatic advice on legal matters arising during daily operations.
* Support Business Growth: Provide support in connection with strategically important company formations, acquisitions, joint ventures and market expansion projects.
* Continuous Improvement: Champion better ways of working by improving systems, processes and legal practices. Contribute proactively to company-wide initiatives beyond your core role.
* Collaborative Partner: Work collaboratively with all departments and senior leadership to close deals and resolve legal issues efficiently and positively.
* Legal Guidance: Be a go-to expert for interpreting contracts, policies and best practices, offering timely and accurate legal support across the business.

Who We’re Looking For

* Proven experience in reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, with a strong understanding of legal risk, contract terms and compliance in relation to competitive tendering processes.
* The ability to provide pragmatic legal support across a broad spectrum of matters, including procurement agreements, corporate transactions, financing arrangements, data protection issues and dispute resolution.
* Experience in maintaining and updating legal templates and internal policies to ensure alignment with current legislation and industry best practices across the corporate group structure.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities, with a strong sense of commercial awareness.
* Capability to collaborate effectively with external legal counsel where specialist advice is required.
* Prior experience in any of the Energy, Infrastructure, or Projects sectors would be advantageous.
