Description
Job information
Do you have a sound understanding of construction and commercial law?
Do you adopt a practical, risk-based approach to providing advice? If so, don't miss out on this opportunity... ...
We want to be the water company people want to be supplied by and want to work for.
This pivotal role presents an opportunity for you to join our esteemed in-house legal team and contribute your expertise in the specialism of construction and commercial contracts. With a proven track record in drafting, negotiating, and reviewing construction contracts, your guidance will be invaluable at every stage of the process, from the initial tender phase to project completion.
As a qualified lawyer practicing in England and Wales, it is preferable that you've honed your skills within a reputable law firm or in-house setting, ideally with a background in the utilities or energy sector.
Your confidence as a legal professional, coupled with your practical experience in construction and commercial law, particularly in the drafting and negotiation of various contract types such as NEC, and JCT, will be highly valued.
Equally important is your ability to adopt a risk-based approach to create pragmatic solutions to challenges. You'll engage daily with engineering, procurement, and project teams, offering sound legal advice and guidance that will help shape success.
Within our legal department, we foster a close-knit and collaborative working environment, characterised by a small yet supportive team. Your commitment to providing exceptional service to your colleagues will be pivotal in ensuring the effectiveness of our legal function.
You'll grow a career with a meaningful purpose. Be you, belong and be valued.
What will be your key accountabilities?
What will you bring to the role?
What can you expect from us?
Everyone needs water, South East Water welcomes everyone
We know the communities we serve are diverse. We recognise creativity comes from diversity not similarity. That's why we are enthusiastic about creating inclusion across age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion and identity. You will experience our dedication to equal opportunities and fair treatment for all: through your recruitment, employment and career progression with South East Water.
