• Advise project teams on key legal and commercial risks, including scope definition, schedule risk, delay, force majeure, performance security, liquidated damages, warranty, indemnity, insurance, payment, lien exposure, turnover, and dispute escalation.

• Support resolution of active project issues, including claims, defaults, change disputes, lien matters, closeout issues, and handoff/commissioning disputes.

• Partner cross-functionally with procurement, facilities, construction, project controls, engineering, EH&S, finance, tax, and operations stakeholders to move projects efficiently while protecting company objectives.

• Manage and coordinate outside counsel for specialized construction, real estate, regulatory, environmental, labor, and dispute matters.

• Deliver practical training and proactive legal mentorship to business teams to improve issue spotting, contract rigor, and execution quality.

Minimum Qualifications:

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

• Significant experience drafting and negotiating complex construction and development agreements, with specific experience supporting advanced manufacturing, semiconductor, data center, energy, industrial, or other critical facilities.

• Familiarity with land use, permitting, incentives, utilities, or energy interface issues as they relate to major project development.

• Demonstrated ability to advise on major project risk allocation and to support fast paced, high-value transactions with cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:
