About the business
  
Our client is a leading Adelaide based corporate with a focus on engineering and construction. Working across a range of areas including renewables, infrastructure, resources and defence, it offers unique solutions across Australia from its head office not far from the CBD.
  
With a passion for innovation, quality service and reliability, this well-established and significant business has continued to adapt and grow as the national marketplace has shifted to include areas such as renewables and defence.  
  
The In-house Counsel role
  
This Legal Counsel role will report to the Legal Manager and is positioned as a key role within the business to provide adept and commercially focused legal advice. Dealing direct with the business, and being mentored as required, the Legal Counsel will be involved in a broad range of commercial activities, including contract drafting and amendment, procurement, negotiations, bespoke legal advice, dispute management strategies and involvement, briefing external counsel, and reporting to senior management on contractual risks and mitigation strategies.
  
The Lawyer we seek
  
The lawyer we seeks will have completed at least 2 years of PQE, up to around 6 or so, in a commercial law firm or in-house company. They will be smart, commercially minded and good with people, and have a good eye for detail and ability to negotiate contract terms with confidence. Most importantly, they will possess superior interpersonal skills, a passion for providing quality advice, and an interest in being part of a business that is working on projects in areas such as renewables, defence, infrastructure and resources.
  
The benefits
  
Working in this role offers a rare opportunity to be a part of a successful and growing Adelaide-based national company with access to quality projects, hands-on mentoring, and the opportunity to deal directly with senior executives in the business from a relatively junior level. It will pay strong local rates, and the business supports a positive and collegiate culture, with reasonable expectations around hours and flexibility.
