The role focuses on non-contentious construction work: drafting, negotiating and advising on EPC, operation/FM and ancillary project documentation for sponsors, developers, funders and contractors.

You will work in a collaborative, non-hierarchical team that regularly coordinates with onshore and cross-border project, finance, real estate and arbitration specialists. Expect a transactional, project-focused workload on complex, high-value infrastructure, energy and real estate developments.

The team provides structured training and career development, with access to project management and knowledge‑management resources. You will be expected to manage matters to firm processes and contribute to client service and knowledge initiatives.

  • Qualified lawyer admitted in a common‑law jurisdiction.
  • Junior to mid‑level non‑contentious construction experience on large international or complex projects.
  • Strong drafting, negotiation and attention to detail; good commercial awareness.
  • Experience working with multi‑disciplinary and cross‑jurisdictional teams.
