Job description

Req. ID: JR102653 – APAC Senior/Assistant General Counsel, Global Operations – Construction and Infrastructure (Evergreen)

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Join Micron at a transformative time as we expand our advanced manufacturing footprint across Asia Pacific.

This is a high‑impact role where you will act as a strategic legal partner to large‑scale capital projects—supporting the development and delivery of complex industrial and manufacturing facilities. You will work closely with cross‑functional teams and senior stakeholders, driving commercially practical solutions across multiple APAC jurisdictions.

Relocation level: TBD

What You’ll Do

• Lead end‑to‑end legal support for major capital projects across APAC, from early development and procurement strategy through contracting, execution, claims, and closeout.
• Draft and negotiate complex agreements, including EPC/EPCM, design‑build, construction management, consulting, procurement, and supply contracts.
• Advise on project risks and strategy, including delay exposure, change orders, performance security, defects/warranty, and dispute avoidance/resolution.
• Partner with business stakeholders (procurement, engineering, project teams) to structure tenders, manage risk, and develop contracting templates and playbooks.
• Support regional project development matters, including land, permitting, and regulatory coordination with local counsel.
• Manage external counsel across APAC, ensuring pragmatic, high‑quality advice aligned to business objectives.
• Track legal/regulatory developments and translate them into practical guidance for project teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified lawyer (8+ years) with strong experience in construction, infrastructure, or major capital projects (EPC/EPCM preferred) and ability to support cross‑border APAC matters.
• Proven track record advising on complex industrial or technical projects, with hands‑on experience in live‑project issues (delays, claims, variations, disputes).
• Strong drafting, negotiation, and commercial judgment, with the ability to deliver pragmatic advice to diverse stakeholders.
• Familiarity with FIDIC or equivalent frameworks, including security of payment/adjudication regimes and broader APAC construction law practices.

Success Looks Like

• Projects move faster with early, practical legal input.
• Contracts are commercially aligned to real project risks.
• Trusted partner to engineering, procurement, and project leadership teams.
• Improved consistency and efficiency of contracting across APAC.
• Risks are identified early and addressed before escalation.
