Legal Counsel - Marine, Infrastructure & Energy Projects

€Competitive + Bonus + Benefits

Are you a skilled construction or projects lawyer with experience in marine infrastructure and energy developments?

The Company:

A leading international contractor delivering complex projects across the marine, civil infrastructure, and energy sectors. With a strong European presence and global operations, they specialise in large-scale, technically challenging developments spanning offshore energy, coastal protection, and infrastructure renewal.

The Opportunity:

• Provide legal and strategic support to tender and delivery teams on complex infrastructure projects across the Netherlands (both dry and wet civils).
• Working within the legal & contract management team, you will be involved in early-stage tenders to supporting active project execution.
• You'll act as a trusted advisor to both commercial and operational colleagues, helping to identify and mitigate legal and contractual risks throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Draft and negotiate a range of project-related agreements including joint ventures, subcontracting arrangements, and consortium agreements.
• Support contract standardisation and compliance initiatives in line with internal governance.
• Play a key role in shaping and delivering training on legal and contractual matters to wider business units.

The Person:

• Dutch-qualified lawyer with a Master's degree in law; a background in construction, infrastructure, or civil engineering law is highly advantageous.
• 5+ years' legal experience gained either in private practice or in-house, ideally with exposure to large-scale contracting environments.
• Familiarity with standard Dutch public works contracts (e.g., UAV 2012, UAV-GC 2005). Experience with DBFM and/or FIDIC is a strong plus.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, confident engaging across legal, technical, and commercial functions.
