WARRINGTON
Sellafield Ltd is responsible for the safe and secure delivery of decommissioning, reprocessing and nuclear waste management activities on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. These activities are undertaken across sites at Sellafield and Windscale in Cumbria where Sellafield Ltd is the site licence holder employing around 10,000 workers. The company also operates from offices in Whitehaven, Cumbria and Warrington, Cheshire.
The company has a proud track record of safely delivering multi-million pound contracts to the nuclear industry. Sellafield is the largest construction site in the UK and one of the largest in Europe, with a current yearly supply chain spend of around £1 billion. To help support the business with its significant volume of commercial work, we now have two opportunities for talented lawyers to join the legal team.
Reporting to the Head of Commercial Law, you will become heavily involved in drafting, negotiating and advising on high value contracts of strategic importance and helping to manage major projects through to completion. This will include advising on: construction contracts, procurement (including public sector procurement regulations) commercial agreements, services and purchase contracts.
In addition to possessing a strong technical background and training and experience at a top tier law firm or in-house, you must exhibit strong personal credibility, have excellent client care skills and be a skilled communicator. We are looking for a qualified solicitor or barrister with 6 years relevant PQE who has the experience and gravitas to manage high value and complex projects independently although with guidance from other team members. An understanding of public procurement law and/or construction contracts is highly desirable for this position.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-profile business at a level which offers great scope to carve out a successful career within the organisation. You will be rewarded with a highly competitive salary and benefits package and the opportunity to maintain a sensible work life balance in a collegiate and meritocratic work environment.
