You’re the person people turn to when complexity needs clarity. When conversations get challenging, when risk needs balancing, when decisions carry real consequence, you bring calm, structure, and confidence.
If you’re ready to move beyond reacting to legal issues and instead help shape how a global engineering business thinks about risk, growth, and opportunity, this is where your next chapter begins.
What’s in It for You
This is a role designed for someone who wants to do more than advise to shape, influence, and leave a visible mark on a growing international business.
You won’t be operating on the edges of decisions. You’ll be part of where they’re made working closely with senior stakeholders, contributing to direction, and helping the business move forward with clarity and confidence.
Here, your experience will translate into real impact:
A seat at the table where it matters most - You’ll work directly with senior leadership, contributing to strategic conversations and helping guide decisions that influence projects, partnerships, and long-term growth across the UK and Europe.
Complex work that keeps you engaged and evolving - From multi-jurisdictional contracts to high-value negotiations and strategic transactions, the work is varied, challenging, and meaningful. You’ll be trusted to take ownership of complex matters and navigate them with autonomy and confidence.
The opportunity to shape how things are done - This isn’t a fixed environment. You’ll have the space to refine governance frameworks, build smarter legal processes, and develop tools and playbooks that improve how the entire business operates.
A platform to grow people, not just processes - You’ll play a key role in developing others mentoring junior colleagues, sharing knowledge, and helping evolve a legal function that is collaborative, capable, and future ready. Your influence will extend beyond your own work into the growth of the wider team.
Global exposure with a connected team feel - With work spanning multiple jurisdictions, you’ll gain international exposure while still feeling part of one cohesive team. You’ll collaborate across regions, bringing consistency to complexity and contributing to one shared standard of excellence.
The impact you’ll make
Your experience will allow you to step into a role where your judgement, influence, and leadership truly matter. You will:
- Lead complex commercial negotiations - Navigate high-value agreements, joint ventures, and multi-party arrangements across borders with confidence and clarity
- Shape risk and governance frameworks - Define, influence, and manage risk positions while strengthening governance across multiple jurisdictions
- Provide strategic legal insight - Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders guiding decisions that impact growth, bids, and long-term direction
- Own disputes, claims, and risk resolution - Bring structure and control to sensitive, high-impact situations, ensuring balanced, commercially sound outcomes
- Develop capability within the legal function - Mentor others, improve processes, and help build a legal team that is proactive, scalable, and aligned with the business
