To be successful in this role:

• Candidates should have high-calibre construction experience gained from a leading national, regional, or City law firm.
• In-house legal experience within major contracting companies, consultancies, or public bodies will also be highly valued.
• You will possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, along with strong technical competence and intellectual ability.

• Additionally, candidates should have proven leadership potential and be regarded well within their professional networks.

Our client offers a supportive and inclusive working environment, providing ample opportunities for growth and development. As part of their construction team, you will have the chance to work on challenging and high-profile projects, making a significant impact within the industry.
