Senior Legal Counsel
I’m working with a leading international data centre business looking to appoint a Senior Legal Counsel to support its growing EMEA operations.
This is a broad role sitting across both construction and operations, supporting major data centre projects through the construction phase and continuing to advise once sites become operational.
About the Role
On the construction side, the role will involve advising on FIDIC and bespoke D&B arrangements, major equipment procurement and supply contracts, contract administration, variations and claims, working closely with the construction, commercial and procurement teams.
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.
Once sites are operational, the remit extends to the contractual issues associated with running critical infrastructure, including facilities and maintenance arrangements, suppliers, defects, remediation and operational issues.
Requirements
We’re looking for a technically strong construction lawyer who is equally comfortable operating in a fast-paced commercial environment and providing practical advice to the business.
Ideally, you’ll have 6+ years’ PQE, with a strong grounding in non-contentious construction law. A combination of private practice and in-house experience would be particularly attractive, alongside experience working for or closely with a major contractor.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Data centre experience would be highly advantageous, although candidates from complex infrastructure, energy or major projects environments will also be considered.
Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing international business in one of the most active areas of the infrastructure market, with a genuinely broad remit across both project delivery and operations.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
