Job Description
Job Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: QLD - South Brisbane
Job Category: Legal & Corporate Services
Full-time, permanent. Locations: South Brisbane office, also open to Sydney and Melbourne.
Work closely with operational leaders on major projects supporting Australia's renewable energy future. Supportive national team, meaningful commercial exposure and flexibility to build your in-house legal career.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to step into a genuinely commercial, in-house Legal Counsel role embedded within a growing national business delivering complex infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
As part of CPP's Legal & Corporate Services team, you'll work closely with project and operational leaders across the business — not just reviewing contracts, but shaping how projects are structured, negotiated and delivered. You'll be involved from early-stage tenders and contract negotiations through to live project support, giving you full lifecycle exposure rather than purely advisory work.
You will have access to a wider network of legal resources, through our local parent company, Quanta Services Australia, and ultimate US parent company, Quanta Services Inc. You'll gain exposure to major infrastructure and renewable energy projects, with the opportunity to build a long-term in-house career while continuing to grow your technical and commercial capability.
This role is ideal for a lawyer looking to deepen their commercial impact. You'll partner with Program Managers, Project Managers and engineers, providing pragmatic, solutions-focused legal advice that balances risk with project delivery outcomes. Whether you come from private practice or in-house, you will bring commercial judgement and the ability to turn legal advice into clear, practical guidance. This is a strong career‐building opportunity to gain exposure to significant projects, deepen your understanding of construction and renewable energy, and learn within a supportive national team.
Desired Skills and Experience
* A Bachelor of Laws and a Legal Practising Certificate
* Over 3 years' post‐admission experience from a law firm or in‐house legal team
* Background in construction, commercial, corporate, regulatory or infrastructure‐related law
* Commercial judgement, negotiation capability and a practical approach to balancing risk with project delivery outcomes
* Strong communication skills and the ability to provide pragmatic legal advice to non‐legal stakeholders across the business
Benefits
* Above‐market salary package with annual reviews
* Annual bonus, discretionary based on individual and business performance
* We offer flexible working options, with the ability to work from home
* Access to study assistance for continuous development, and a strong focus on internal promotions to help you grow within
* 16 weeks paid primary parental leave and 6 weeks paid secondary parental leave
* Up to 2 weeks of purchased leave
* Choice between an iPhone or Samsung mobile
* Generous employee referral program up to $4,000
* Access to an extensive benefits and discounts program with savings at over 400 retailers
* Free Employee Assistance Program for you and your family, supporting physical, mental, and financial wellbeing
