This is a unique Group Legal Counsel opportunity within a market-leading pump rental solutions provider. Operating at the forefront of the civil engineering and utilities industry, the organisation is entering an exciting phase of rapid expansion following significant M&A activities and operational growth.

The role is ideal for a Senior Associate or experienced Solicitor with expertise in commercial and corporate law, who is looking to transition into an in-house position. Offering work-life balance and the opportunity to make a tangible impact, this position presents a rewarding challenge for the right legal professional.

The Role

This is a standalone position that works closely with senior leadership, where you’ll provide strategic legal advice across the business. Key responsibilities include:

* Contract Management: Reviewing, drafting, and negotiating commercial contracts, framework agreements, and other legal documents.

* M&A Support: Offering legal input on mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships to maximise opportunities and minimise risks.

* Governance & Compliance: Ensuring adherence to applicable laws and regulations, including the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and Procurement Act 2023.

* Strategic Counsel: Advising stakeholders on legal risks, opportunities for improvement, and innovative solutions to strengthen the company’s legal framework.

* Stakeholder Collaboration: Acting as a trusted advisor to both internal teams and external partners, communicating legal concepts clearly and effectively.

About You

The role requires a proactive and commercially focused legal professional with the following skills and experience:

* Qualified Solicitor or Barrister in England and Wales.

* PQE: At least 5–7 years of post-qualification experience, ideally at Senior Associate level or equivalent.

* Commercial Expertise: Strong knowledge of commercial and corporate law, with additional experience in governance, compliance, or regulatory matters.

* M&A Knowledge: Proven ability to support acquisitions and framework agreements.

* Pragmatic Problem Solver: Skilled at balancing legal risk with commercial opportunity.

* Industry Insight: Prior experience in the civil engineering, utilities, or infrastructure sectors is advantageous but not essential.

* Self-Starter: Confident operating independently in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Why Consider This Role?

* Impactful Work: Play a central role in shaping legal and commercial strategies within a high-growth organisation.

* Autonomy & Variety: Operate independently across diverse legal areas, influencing key business decisions.

* Work-Life Balance: Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid options, within a supportive company culture.

* Competitive Package: A salary of £76,500 – £90,000, with an attractive bonus scheme and comprehensive benefits.

This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving organisation and directly influence its future growth and success
