Job Description:
TRANSACTIONAL CONSTRUCTION (PROJECTS) LAWYER
SCOTLAND AND UK REGIONS
Brief
Our Construction and Engineering Group team is expanding and we are currently looking to recruit a talented transactional (non-contentious) construction lawyer, ideally with experience in the energy sector though not essential, with 4-8 years' PQE to join our team. This is an opportunity involving transactional construction work with a particular focus on renewable energy projects primarily across the UK but also internationally – the preference is for the candidate to join the Scottish team, but all of our UK office locations would be considered. A number of our major client relationships, and the projects on which we advise, in the energy sector are led by partners based in our offices in Scotland. The role will involve working with those partners and with our wider national team.
What our Clients say:
“The Pinsent Masons team does very good work for us. They provide appropriate and reliable senior and junior resource to achieve this and support us proactively commercially.” (hub South West Scotland)
“They do not just give us legal solutions, they also give actual commercial and pragmatic approaches to problems. Some law firms just want to give the legal points and do not really understand the commercial needs of the clients. That is something which I have not experienced with Pinsent Masons, as they have always been very cognisant of our commercial needs, and they really try to work with that in terms of the legal options available.” (GrainCorp Limited)
The Candidate Required
The team's pipeline is such that our vacancy would best suit a candidate well versed in energy related transactional (non-contentious) construction work. However, we would also consider applicants with a strong background in transactional construction work outside of the energy sector, combined with a genuine interest in pursuing their career in a different direction.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity of exposure to both construction and projects work across a wide range of sectors, both across the UK and internationally, so experience and flexibility in that regard is an advantage. Experience in the energy sector in particular would be desirable though not essential.
The successful candidate will:
* have gained experience in a large commercial firm, in-house legal team or local authority;
* be a team player, able to forge strong working relationships with colleagues in an agile environment;
* be enthusiastic and engaged and keen to develop their career and contribute to the success of a fantastic team;
* be technically strong and exercise good commercial judgment; and
* have the interpersonal skills necessary for this client-facing role.
The role is wide-ranging, will focus on and include:
* the opportunity to be involved in work in the very best national and international construction work;
* developing on-going relationships with an existing client base as well as pitching for new opportunities; and
* developing close working relationships as part of an international team.
What will we offer you?
* We are a market leading, dynamic and growing global team who work together to produce outstanding results for our clients. You will have exposure to the best quality work and top global clients.
* You will get early responsibility and opportunities to develop key client relationships.
* We invest in our team and have a first-class training and career development programme. Our training reflects our market-leading position and focuses on helping you to develop as a specialist with valuable sector knowledge and the ability to deliver "best in class" services.
* We look after our people – we cultivate an inclusive culture for all our people to develop and thrive. We provide tailored resources, support networks and a culture of care to help colleagues balance their work and home lives so that they have a sense of mental and physical wellbeing.
