This is an exciting time to join Stantec. We have achieved incredible growth over the past number of years and we look forward to more exciting times ahead as we continue to expand our presence globally.

To support our growth, we are seeking a fluent Spanish speaking Corporate Counsel to join our Legal team in Redditch.

We can offer you a welcoming environment to work in, and the opportunity to play an important role in our business. This is a good opportunity to join a close-knit, collaborative team providing critical support for Stantec globally.

You will provide overall legal support to the business covering an exciting mix of transactional support to contracts with our clients to a wide range of corporate matters which could adapt around your own skills and career growth with Stantec but could include areas such as claims, employment, property, corporate governance and regulatory compliance, however experience now in all these areas is not a prerequisite.

You may become involved in future acquisitions across Europe and beyond. You will partner with business leaders to help them grow but whilst ensuring compliance with applicable laws and being part of the Stantec Inc public company group. You will manage and mitigate legal risks, draft and negotiate a variety of agreements and generally support an exciting growing business.

You will have the support of the senior members of the Legal Team and will have the opportunity to play a key role for us through the integration period and beyond. You will also be part of Legal team which looks after all regions outside of North America, so there is plenty of opportunity for diversity, growth and interest.
