This role offers exceptional variety and early responsibility within a genuinely collaborative and supportive environment.

The Role:

• Advising on high-value energy and infrastructure projects, including project development, regulatory frameworks, procurement processes, and commercial contracting (including PPAs and EPC/O&M agreements).
• Supporting on public-private joint ventures and strategic infrastructure initiatives.
• Working in cross-practice teams with experts in real estate, finance, construction, and environment.

Why Join:

• Be part of a high-performing, collegiate team with a deep bench of sector specialists.
• Join a firm with a growing roster of major energy and infrastructure clients and a commitment to net zero.
• Benefit from excellent partner access, hands-on training, and real opportunity to progress within a genuinely people-focused culture.
• Flexible location options with a strong hybrid working policy.

Candidate Requirements:

• 1–3 PQE with experience in projects, energy, infrastructure, or commercial contracts from a recognised practice.
• Strong commercial acumen and the ability to work effectively with both public and private sector clients.
• A genuine interest in the energy transition and the evolving landscape of clean energy and infrastructure development.
• Excellent drafting skills, client service mindset, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative environment.
