Senior Legal Counsel

The Organisation
This organisation operates within a large-scale infrastructure and asset environment where commercial, operational and strategic decisions intersect every day. Supporting stakeholders across procurement, engineering, construction, governance and project delivery functions, it offers lawyers the opportunity to work at the centre of a complex and commercially significant business.

The legal team is highly regarded internally and plays a genuine partnering role across the organisation. Legal advice is practical, commercially focused and closely connected to business outcomes, giving lawyers visibility, influence and the opportunity to broaden their expertise beyond a traditional legal remit.

The Timing
This is an opportunity to join a function at an exciting stage of its evolution. As the organisation continues to strengthen its procurement, contracting and commercial capability, there is scope for the successful lawyer to help shape the future structure of the team, mentor staff and contribute to broader organisational initiatives.
With regular exposure to senior leaders, executives and governance processes, the role also offers a clear pathway for someone looking to take the next step in their career.

The Work Itself
You'll advise across the full lifecycle of procurement and contracting activities, helping stakeholders navigate complex commercial arrangements while balancing strategic objectives, operational requirements and value-for-money considerations.

The work spans procurement, construction and infrastructure projects, commercial agreements, contract variations and broader business initiatives. You'll partner closely with project, engineering and procurement teams, becoming a trusted adviser on matters that are critical to the organisation's operations. Depending on your interests and experience, there is also scope to contribute to governance activities, board reporting and strategic projects.

Where You'll Land
You'll join a collaborative and highly regarded legal and governance team where lawyers are given genuine responsibility and visibility across the organisation. Alongside a competitive remuneration package, you'll enjoy 12 additional flex days each year, a performance bonus scheme, professional development support and meaningful exposure to senior decision-makers. It is an environment that values sustainable workloads, invests in its people and provides genuine opportunities for long-term career growth.
