Position OverviewWe are looking for an Attorney possessing complex construction transactional experience to serve as Assistant General Counsel located in either Kansas City, Denver, Houston, Omaha, or Vancouver, Washington. In this role, you will negotiate large, complex construction contracts with owners, partners, and critical vendors/subcontractors. Contract models could include EPC, design-build, progressive design-build, integrated project delivery/alliance modeling, joint venture agreements, memoranda of understanding, teaming agreements, consortium agreements, and material contracts. An ability to work autonomously, think analytically, practically, and quickly are key qualities to achieve success in this role. Experience negotiating complex construction transactions and collaboration with business partners is a must.
This position will require travel, as needed, to support the needs of the business (approximately 15% - 20% of the time). We are seeking a proactive team member who thrives on identifying opportunities for growth and efficiency. As part of the legal department, this person will be encouraged to propose innovative solutions and advocate for positive changes that enhance the department’s processes and outcomes. In addition, the ideal candidate should be at ease with public speaking, as our attorneys frequently deliver training sessions to large groups within the organization.

Our construction and engineering projects span across the United States, Canada and Mexico, improving and connecting communities with every initiative. We depend on our high-performing operations support professionals — they’re the glue that holds multiple areas of the business together and the catalysts that make things happen. We hire only the most driven people, and we offer them diverse career opportunities, strong leadership and mentorship, rewarding, collaborative work, and responsibility they won’t find just anywhere. We’re always pushing new limits. You can too.
