Job description

Overview

An exciting opportunity for an intermediate-level Construction Solicitor at one of New Zealand’s largest and most respected law firms. Work on high-profile construction and infrastructure projects across sectors such as transport, energy, mining, and telecommunications. Benefit from mentoring by leading experts in a collaborative, inclusive, wellness‑focused environment that supports career growth.

What you'll do

  • Drafting and negotiating complex contracts for major construction and infrastructure projects across sectors including commercial property, transport, energy, mining, water management, oil and gas, telecommunications, and public‑private partnerships.
  • Advising clients such as developers, public entities, infrastructure providers or funders, consultants, and contractors on all aspects of project delivery from inception through to completion.
  • Managing both front‑end (transactional) matters (contract preparation and risk allocation) and back‑end (disputes) work (claims management and dispute resolution processes).
  • Collaborating with colleagues at all levels to deliver seamless client service and contribute to a positive, respectful, and collaborative team environment.
  • Contributing to business development initiatives by assisting with client presentations or thought leadership pieces related to construction law trends.

What you bring

  • A minimum of 3–7 years’ PQE gained at a reputable law firm or organisation with exposure to high‑quality construction or infrastructure matters.
  • Proven ability in drafting contracts for construction or infrastructure projects or strong experience handling dispute resolution within these sectors.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills enabling you to convey complex legal concepts clearly to clients from varied backgrounds.
  • Demonstrated interest in construction law; candidates with quality commercial contract or litigation experience who wish to specialise in construction are encouraged to apply.
  • Strong interpersonal skills that enable effective collaboration within multidisciplinary teams and empathetic support for junior colleagues’ development.
  • What sets this company apart

    This firm stands out as one of New Zealand’s premier legal employers due to its unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive culture where every individual feels valued. The collaborative spirit permeates every level of the business, supporting headline infrastructure deals and personal growth journeys. Diversity is celebrated as an everyday reality, ensuring that everyone can contribute fully regardless of background or experience level.
