Senior Legal Counsel - Construction

I'm working with a leading international data centre business looking to appoint a Senior Legal Counsel to support its growing EMEA operations. This is a broad role sitting across both construction and operations, supporting major data centre projects through the construction phase and continuing to advise once sites become operational. On the construction side, the role will involve advising on FIDIC and bespoke D&B arrangements, major equipment procurement and supply contracts, contract administration, variations and claims, working closely with the construction, commercial and procurement teams. Once sites are operational, the remit extends to the contractual issues associated with running critical infrastructure, including facilities and maintenance arrangements, suppliers, defects, remediation and operational issues. We're looking for a technically strong construction lawyer who is equally comfortable operating in a fast-paced commercial environment and providing practical advice to the business. Ideally, you'll have 6+ years' PQE, with a strong grounding in non-contentious construction law. A combination of private practice and in-house experience would be particularly attractive, alongside experience working for or closely with a major contractor. Data centre experience would be highly advantageous, although candidates from complex infrastructure, energy or major projects environments will also be considered. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing international business in one of the most active areas of the infrastructure market, with a genuinely broad remit across both project delivery and operations.
