MRPV is delivering a massive investment in the state’s roads. We’re delivering major new road projects across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria while improving the roads people rely on every day.

Come and be a part of our centre of roads excellence.

Join us in building better connections for Victoria by:

- Leading and coordinating all day-to-day legal aspects for a portfolio of Big Build Roads projects, making an important contribution to tangible projects across the State.
- Providing high quality and pragmatic legal advice, focused primarily on project development, procurement, delivery, contracting and interfaces.
- Managing, mentoring, and guiding other legal team members and undertaking people management responsibilities as required.
- Collaborating with the Commercial and Legal team, and the broader multi-disciplinary project team, to provide best-for-project solutions.
- Managing internal and external legal resources and engaging with and influencing senior decision makers.
- Contributing to procurement and contract management tools, standard forms and briefing documents.

About you

You are:

- A construction, projects or infrastructure specialist, with extensive experience in contracting and delivery of large, complex projects. Experience with complex collaborative contracting models preferred.
- A natural leader – you have experience in managing teams (formally or informally) to achieve best-for-project outcomes. Experience in managing external legal advisors would be a bonus.
- A true collaborator – your expert communication and stakeholder management skills ensure a cohesive and collaborative approach in managing complex legal matters in a deadline-driven setting.
- Well-versed in managing contractual matters (including drafting and claims) and other complex legal matters throughout the development and delivery of infrastructure projects.

This opportunity is a 6 month fixed term, backfilling a period of parental leave.

- Access to annual health checks, including skin checks and flu shots.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential counselling and advice for you and your family.
