This is a broad, hands-on role for a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys partnering with the business and being close to decision-making. The position has a strong focus on corporate, projects and operational legal matters, supporting major strategic initiatives across a growing business.

Working closely with a highly regarded General Counsel & Company Secretary, you will advise on a diverse range of matters including commercial contracting, corporate transactions, debt financing, offtake arrangements, joint ventures, project development and business-critical operational issues.

As the company moves towards a significant FID milestone, this role offers the opportunity to play a key part in shaping and supporting the next phase of growth.

About You

We are interested in speaking with senior in-house lawyers with:

• 12+ years' PAE
• Strong corporate, commercial and operational legal experience
• A genuine commercial mindset and ability to provide practical, business-focused advice
• The confidence to operate autonomously and influence senior stakeholders
