A leading national law firm is currently seeking a Construction & Engineering Solicitor to join its expanding team in Newcastle. This opportunity sits within a highly respected non-contentious construction and infrastructure team that advises an impressive client roster, including developers, funders, public sector bodies, and major NHS Trusts.
With a strong presence in the infrastructure and residential development sectors, the team has established panel positions with some of the UK’s most recognised housebuilders. The team also acts on a wide range of public sector infrastructure projects, including transport (road, rail, and buses), flood defence, and healthcare projects.

*Attending and leading client meetings, and contributing to business development activities.
*Supporting tender proposals and client pitches.
*Supervising junior team members and paralegals.
*Maintaining excellent client service and high technical standards.
*Contributing to knowledge sharing and team training initiatives.
What They’re Looking For:*Qualified solicitor (likely 2–6 PQE, though flexible for the right candidate).
*Experience in construction law is ideal (especially infrastructure-related), but those with strong commercial contracts/projects experience looking to specialise in this area are welcome.
*Excellent drafting, analytical and communication skills.
*Strong commercial acumen and the confidence to engage with clients at all levels.
*Proactive, organised and able to work both independently and as part of a team.
*A genuine interest in infrastructure, projects and development work.
Why Apply?*Be part of a high-profile construction & infrastructure practice with strong national reach.
*Gain hands-on experience working with a diverse client base and across complex, high-value projects.
*Clear career development support, with active involvement in growing the practice area.
*Flexible and hybrid working environment.
*Excellent benefits, including generous holiday, enhanced family leave, bonus scheme, and more.
