Role description: Arcadis seeks to add a high performing and experienced project counsel to its growing Canadian Mobility Team. The ideal candidate will have experience supporting major infrastructure projects in a legal capacity, particularly involving transit, rail, or large public-private partnerships. This role requires excellent interpersonal skills, superior oral and written communication, and the ability to anticipate and deliver legal support for a dynamic, diverse, and global business team. The position is flexible, located in any Canadian Arcadis office. Role accountabilities: In this role, you will provide comprehensive legal support during the pursuit, negotiation, and delivery of contracts such as Design-Build-Finance, Progressive Design-Build, Target Cost Contracts, and Alliance Contracting. You will bring experience negotiating risk allocation provisions in upstream and downstream contracts, including indemnities, limitations of liability, and delay liquidated damages. Additionally, you will work in multi-party governance environments, coordinating with joint venture partners, lenders, and public authorities. Acting as Project Counsel on high-stakes infrastructure projects, you will provide legal advice on the interpretation of contractual and technical documents and draft legal correspondence such as claims letters and notices disputing delays or breaches of contract. You will be familiar with project insurance structures, including professional indemnity, PSPL, and surety bonds, particularly as they apply to complex infrastructure projects and alternative delivery methods. Working closely with claim analysts, you will investigate and analyze project documents to provide legal support for potential claims and disputes, mitigating issues before escalation or avoiding them altogether. You will advise on dispute resolution strategies, including negotiation, litigation, adjudication, arbitration, and construction liens, while coordinating the efforts of outside counsel as required, including budget forecasting. As a trusted legal advisor to the Legal Director, Canada, Project Director, Commercial Director, and other senior leaders, you will develop and implement risk mitigation strategies to minimize contractual disputes.

Exceptional organizational skills are required, with the ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines consistently, and handle high volumes of work while exercising sound judgment and commercial acumen. You must be skilled in risk management and avoidance, advising project teams on claims management and risk mitigation strategies for high-stakes infrastructure projects. Collaboration is critical, as you will operate effectively in multi-disciplinary team environments while acting as a business partner with an entrepreneurial and pragmatic mindset, exceptional problem-solving abilities, and a client-focused approach. Self-motivation and a willingness to learn and adapt new skills are essential to enhance the performance of legal and business teams. You should thrive in a matrixed organization with a global perspective and international outlook. Strong cross-functional communication skills are necessary, with proven ability to coordinate across technical, legal, and commercial teams to align project delivery, claims mitigation, and legal risk management.
