Full job description

Senior Legal Counsel / General Counsel

(Mining, Construction & Corporate)

Our client, a privately held and highly entrepreneurial company with operations and interests in the mining and construction sectors, is seeking an experienced and commercially minded senior in-house lawyer to join its executive team in a key legal leadership capacity.

This is a rare opportunity for a business-oriented legal professional who thrives in a highly autonomous environment and enjoys being deeply involved in commercial operations, strategic transactions, and executive-level decision-making.

The successful candidate will act as a trusted advisor to ownership and senior leadership, overseeing a broad range of legal, contractual, and strategic matters across the organization.

Importantly, our client is focused on finding the right overall fit and long-term high performer — not simply the candidate with the longest résumé or most years of experience. They are seeking an individual with strong business judgment, commercial instincts, presence, initiative, and the ability to grow with the organization over the long term.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the review, drafting, negotiation, and interpretation of a high volume of complex commercial contracts and agreements across the organization
Provide strategic legal guidance on construction, mining, operational, procurement, vendor, consulting, and commercial agreements
Identify legal and business risks within contractual arrangements and provide practical, solutions-oriented recommendations
Work closely with ownership and operational leadership on day-to-day contract strategy, negotiations, and risk management
Provide practical and strategic legal advice to senior management and ownership
Support mergers, acquisitions, corporate transactions, and related due diligence initiatives
Manage relationships with external counsel and oversee the coordination and quality of outsourced legal work
Assist with corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and general commercial matters
Advise on matters relating to mining, construction, infrastructure, and commercial operations

Qualifications

Minimum 10 years’ call with a strong corporate/commercial background
Significant experience in either an in-house or sophisticated private practice environment
Extensive experience reviewing, drafting, and negotiating complex commercial contracts
Exposure to mining, construction, infrastructure, natural resources, or related industries is strongly preferred
Experience supporting mergers & acquisitions and managing outside counsel
Strong business judgment and a practical, commercially minded approach
Ability to operate independently in a lean, fast-paced, and highly autonomous environment
Entrepreneurial mindset, executive presence, and strong interpersonal skills

Compensation

The anticipated compensation range for this position is approximately $215,000 – $350,000+, depending on experience, industry background, and overall fit. A competitive overall compensation package, will also be offered.

This search is being conducted exclusively by RJOHNSON Legal Recruitment. All inquiries will be handled in strict confidence.

Please send resumes to the attention of Richard to [email protected].

Pay: $215,000.00-$350,000.00 per year
