Job description

Overview

Communities are fundamental. Whether around the corner or across the globe, they provide a foundation, a sense of place and of belonging. We design with community in mind. We’re designers, engineers, scientists, and project managers innovating together at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships.

We care about the communities we serve—they’re our communities too. Balancing priorities results in projects that advance the quality of life in communities across the globe.

About the role :

Due to an internal promotion, we need to find someone to step into the role of Legal and Company Secretarial Assistant. You will be a highly capable, experienced “legal practitioner” who is looking for their next challenge. You’ll be based in a fully refurbished office near Hagley Park with plenty of support from the local team.

The role is diverse and would suit a Legal Exec looking to diversify into a more commercial role, or an experienced Legal Secretary who relishes getting to grips with Company Secretarial and Governance tasks.
