  • Review and advise on commercial agreements, including supplier and technology-related contracts.
  • Deliver legal training and share best practice across the business.
  • Support the effective management of contractual and commercial risk.
  • Supervise and mentor junior members of the legal team.
  • Manage relationships with external legal advisers where required.

  • Familiarity with industry-standard contract forms, including JCT, NEC, and FIDIC.
  • Experience advising on ancillary agreements, including collateral warranties, bonds, and parent company guarantees.
  • Ability to provide clear, practical, and commercially focused legal advice.
  • Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills.
  • Confidence working autonomously and managing competing priorities.
