About the Role
We are looking for a talented Clean Energy Construction lawyer to join our busy team. Candidates should be looking to move into a Legal Director or Partner role and have strong experience in construction, commercial and/or projects experience within the clean energy sector, although, we would also welcome applications from those with transactional experience within the sector.
This role is working directly with Bristol-based Energy Construction Partner Suriya Edwards, London-based National Head of Clean Energy, Clare King, and Leeds-based Clean Energy Partner Deborah Harvey. In addition, the successful candidate will work with other team members in Bristol, Birmingham, Sheffield, and Nottingham. Therefore, depending on your seniority, you could be based out of any of our 12 offices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be supported by a wider sector team of approximately 90 lawyers in other practice areas across our 13 offices, including real estate, corporate, finance, environment, planning, and dispute resolution, particularly Alex Johnson and Stephen Evans (Construction), Michael Bray (Real Estate), and Emily Settle (Corporate). We also have a dedicated PSL for the clean energy sector, Shraiya Thapa.
The successful candidate will be working on matters including:
- BESS Supply Agreements (including with major world-renowned BESS manufacturers)
- EPC contracts
- O&Ms & LTSAs
- Component Warranties
- Clean energy project developments, acquisitions, and disposals
Familiarity with technologies including BESS, solar PV, wind, hydro, energy-from-waste, biogas, hydrogen, EV charging infrastructure, and/or district heating would also be an advantage.
