FTSE 100 | Midlands | Newly Created Role in a Growing Business & Expanding Team

A leading FTSE 100 organisation is seeking a Construction Lawyer (2–7 PQE) to join its well-established and highly regarded in-house legal team. This is a newly created position offering exposure to high-quality construction work and significant capital projects across the organisation, including work linked to their expanding renewables and infrastructure programmes.

This opportunity sits within a friendly, collaborative legal team known for its supportive culture, excellent development opportunities and high-performing environment. We have helped several lawyers move into this business — all have spoken highly of the culture, the quality of work and the progression on offer.

The Role

You will:

  • Advise on a broad range of construction matters, including drafting and negotiating construction contracts (e.g. JCT/NEC) and supporting major infrastructure and renewables projects
  • Support the organisation’s expanding capital projects and construction pipeline
  • Provide pragmatic, commercial advice to operational, engineering, procurement and project teams
  • Contribute to wider legal matters and work collaboratively across the in-house legal function
  • Midlands-based HQ with additional regional sites
  • Hybrid working — applications welcomed from those wanting 4 or 5 days per week
  • Modern, progressive and inclusive working environment

Salary & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary plus 20% bonus, £5,000 car allowance, 15% pension, family healthcare and excellent maternity benefits
  • A business that genuinely supports work–life balance and internal progression

This is an outstanding opportunity for a construction lawyer (3–7 PQE) looking to grow their career within a respected FTSE 100 organisation while working on major strategic projects and contributing to an evolving infrastructure and renewables agenda.
