A leading national Australian law firm with offices across multiple states is seeking a talented Associate or Senior Associate to join its front-end construction team.

While the firm doesn’t currently have a Brisbane office, this role offers the flexibility to work fully remotely, allowing you to combine top-tier construction law experience with genuine work-life balance.

About the Role
You will join a supportive, close-knit national team delivering high-quality, practical advice to major developers, governments, and construction companies, all from the comfort of your home office.

Your role will include advising on:
  • Front-end construction and infrastructure matters
  • Government procurement and procurement strategies, particularly in construction and infrastructure projects
  • Project development and delivery across a full range of project delivery models
  • Contract development, drafting, negotiation, and administration
  • Large complex real estate matters
  • Occasional involvement in disputes and contract claims 
Clients include Australian and international organisations, spanning major Commonwealth government departments and agencies, developers, and leading construction companies.
 
This role provides flexibility to gain exposure across construction, projects, and real estate if desired, and the opportunity to work directly with partners on complex, high-quality matters

About You
  • 4+ years PAE, at Associate or Senior Associate level
  • Experience as a front-end construction, infrastructure, or projects lawyer, or strong contracting experience applicable to the sector
  • Experience in government procurement or project delivery highly regarded but is not essential 
  • Strong technical ability, client-focused approach, and commercial awareness
Why Join This Firm?
  • Flexible Work: 100% remote, with support to set up your home office
  • Wellbeing & Benefits: Up to 20 weeks paid parental leave, health insurance, discounted gym memberships, salary continuance, Employee Assistance Program, and carers support
  • Inclusive & Diverse: Recognised for gender equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion, cultural diversity, and disability inclusion initiatives
  • Career Development: Structured learning and development programs, with study support available
  • Community Involvement: Active pro bono and staff volunteering programs
This is a rare opportunity to work in a collaborative, client-focused firm nationally while enjoying the autonomy and flexibility of a fully remote role.
