Job Description:

We’re hiring on behalf of a Tier 1 main contractor with a strong global presence. They’re delivering major infrastructure projects across the UK and internationally, and their legal team plays a key role in that success.

This is a great opportunity to join a trusted, high-performing team in a role that’s primarily focused on transactional (non-contentious) construction work. You’ll be working closely with colleagues across project delivery and commercial functions, supporting everything from contract negotiation through to execution.

What you’ll be doing:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating construction contracts (JCT, NEC, FIDIC)
• Advising on procurement strategy and risk
• Supporting project teams throughout the lifecycle
• Getting involved in disputes work where needed
• Helping to refine internal processes and contract templates

What we’re looking for:

• Qualified solicitor with solid construction law experience
• 2-7 years' PQE
• Confident working with standard form contracts (JCT, NEC, FIDIC)
• Some exposure to disputes work is a bonus
• Comfortable giving clear, practical advice to commercial stakeholders
• In-house experience is helpful but not essential

Why this role?

You’ll be involved in major, high-value projects with real visibility across the business. It’s a close-knit legal team that’s respected internally, and there’s room to grow with the role. If you’re looking for variety, autonomy and long-term progression, we'd love to hear from you.
