We’re working with a top-tier UK law firm with a strong reputation in infrastructure, energy, and real estate to find a talented Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor to join their specialist team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on some of the UK’s most high-profile and cutting-edge development and energy projects.

• Advising on the construction elements of major property developments and regeneration projects, including development agreements, building contracts, and consultant appointments
• Supporting complex engineering and energy infrastructure projects – think onshore wind, hydro, battery storage, solar, and more
• Drafting, negotiating, and advising on a wide range of construction and engineering contracts
• Working closely with a diverse client base of developers, funders, contractors, consultants, and public sector bodies
• Engaging in business development activities and nurturing long-term client relationships

• Strong drafting and technical skills, with a commercial and practical mindset
• The ability to manage your own caseload while collaborating on larger matters
• Confidence to present legal advice clearly to clients and colleagues
• Enthusiasm for the construction and infrastructure sector, and an eagerness to grow in this space

You'll be part of a team that's at the forefront of renewable energy and real estate innovation in the UK. Expect variety, autonomy, and a clear path for progression. The culture here encourages continuous learning, collaboration, and the development of strong commercial acumen.

Whether you're advising on the legal nuances of a wind farm project or drafting contracts for a landmark regeneration scheme, your work will make a visible difference.
