Full Job Description

Why Sparke Helmore?

As an independent Australian firm with a long history and a big heart, we have a rich story to tell. Our spirit is built on the power of relationships with our people, clients and communities.

At Sparke Helmore, you’ll be actively involved as part of a diverse, genuine and friendly team. We’ll help you harness your ambition and take your skills to new heights with exposure to outstanding clients and easy access to exceptional leaders and mentors.

Your story is yours to define. We’d like to be part of it and for you to be part of ours.

We have a growth opportunity for a Senior Associate or Special Counsel to join our Construction & Infrastructure team in Newcastle, Melbourne, or Brisbane working with Partners, Paul Tobin and Carly Roberts.

About the team and the work

Be a leader in a highly regarded, inclusive team of construction, procurement and infrastructure experts who regularly work with government agencies, state-owned corporations, and large companies.
Work directly with two partners who are senior procurement and infrastructure lawyers and can provide mentorship relating to all phases of projects from conception, tendering and documentation to contract and claim administration and dispute resolution.
This team regularly advises all levels of government on major procurement, construction, and infrastructure projects, as well as energy and resources companies, property developers and major contractors.
We will invest in you and your career with genuine progression opportunities available. You will be supported, challenged and given the space to grow.

Market recognition

Recommended by Doyles Guide for Construction and Infrastructure Litigation

Ranked 16th in Lawyers Weekly’s Top 25 Attraction Firms, 2025

About you

At least 5+ years' experience in construction law from a well-regarded practice.
Experience in either front-end (procurement, contract drafting/negotiation) or back-end (disputes, claims, and litigation) work for large construction or infrastructure projects is essential. Experience in both is highly desirable.
As this team continues to grow, your leadership and mentoring skills will be an integral part of ensuring the continued success and growth of the team.

Background Screening: Successful applications will be subject to pre-employment and in some circumstances, ongoing background checks which include a criminal history check.
