Job Description

Senior Legal Associate - Energy & Infrastructure (In-House)

London Permanent In-house

An established and fast-growing energy & infrastructure business is looking to appoint a Senior Legal Associate to join its UK legal team.

This is a genuinely commercial in-house role, working at the heart of major power generation and infrastructure projects, partnering closely with development, engineering, procurement and finance teams.

The role

You'll take a lead role on the legal aspects of large-scale projects across their lifecycle, including:

Drafting, negotiating and managing a wide range of construction, procurement and commercial contracts
Advising on project development and operational matters for complex infrastructure assets
Identifying and managing legal and contractual risk, providing pragmatic, solutions-focused advice
Supporting internal governance, approvals and decision-making processes
Managing external counsel and overseeing disputes, claims or contentious matters where required
Acting as a trusted legal partner to senior stakeholders across the business

The position is London-based, with occasional UK & Ireland travel.

About you

This role will suit a lawyer who enjoys being close to the business and influencing outcomes. You are likely to have:

6+ years' PQE (UK-qualified or equivalent, with strong English law experience)
Experience in construction, projects, energy or infrastructure (private practice or in-house)
Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills
Exposure to FIDIC / MF/1 or similar project documentation (desirable)
A commercial mindset and confidence working with non-legal stakeholders
Previous in-house experience is beneficial but not essential

Why consider this role?
