Job description

About us

Hoare Lea is a human-centric and planet-conscious engineering consultancy. We offer intelligent and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges for the built environment throughout the UK and further afield.

We provide a wide range of engineering and consultancy services, including acoustics, air quality, building services (MEP), fire, lighting, security and sustainability to name but a few. Together, our highly skilled teams use technical expertise and problem-solving skills to bring buildings to life. We ensure that whatever the building, its design is outstanding, and its operations meet the needs of the communities it serves.

We are as committed to providing an environment where everyone can realise their unique potential. So, in joining Hoare Lea, you will experience a business that enriches your knowledge, supports your wellbeing, and welcomes your individuality. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in our 9-day fortnight scheme, thriving community groups, varied social and networking events, and extensive professional and technical development schemes. We also offer an extensive benefits package, including private medical cover, an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme, stock options, and days of annual leave (increasing with service), alongside flexible and hybrid working.

Whatever your ambitions or circumstances, our aim is to enable everyone to develop their knowledge, give their best, and enjoy what they do.

About the role

We have a brand-new opportunity for a mid to senior level lawyer to join our Governance team. The role will be based in our Bristol office with a hybrid working arrangement, but alternative locations or remote working may be considered for the right candidate.

You’ll report to our Head of Legal, working in a collaborative, knowledgeable, and highly engaged team, within a supportive, flexible, and high-performing work culture.

In this key role, you can expect to:

  • Review and negotiate contracts.
  • Interact regularly with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring a communicative, collaborative and timely approach to delivery.
  • Management and update the firm’s own terms and conditions and contract related policies and guidance.
  • Provide ad hoc legal advice.
  • Maintain the firm’s legal compliance register.

About you

To be successful in this role you’ll need:

  • Proven experience working as a commercial lawyer either inhouse or within a private practice setting.
  • Demonstrable experience working with clients on supply of service agreements. Experience of consulting contracts would be welcome, particularly withing the construction industry, but not essential.
  • Commercial mindset with an ability to reach pragmatic solutions balancing risk against the commercial benefit.
  • Proven ability to prioritise competing deadlines appropriately and to manage expectations both internally and externally.
  • Experience of supporting others to develop knowledge, skills, and confidence.
  • Great communication skills and an enthusiasm for problem solving.
  • A dedication to continuous improvement.
