Interim Senior Legal Counsel, Infrastructure/Engineering

Interim Opportunity | Senior Legal Counsel (12-Month FTC / Maternity Cover), London

We’re currently working on a senior interim opportunity for an experienced commercial lawyer to join a well-established business operating in the infrastructure / engineering space.

This is a 12-month maternity cover role with real breadth and visibility — ideal for someone who enjoys operating close to the business and leading on strategic, project-driven work.

The role:

• Lead legal support on key strategic projects
• Advise on a wide range of commercial, engineering, construction and procurement matters
• Work closely with internal stakeholders across the business
• Handle insurance-related issues
• Manage disputes (not a pure disputes role)

What we’re looking for:

• 8+ PQE commercial lawyer
• Strong background in engineering / construction / infrastructure environments
• Experience with engineering and maintenance contracts
• Proven in-house experience (essential)
• Comfortable working autonomously and hitting the ground running
• Commercial, pragmatic and able to deliver clear, business-focused advice

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on, varied work and being embedded within a business during a key period.
