QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong commercial real estate transactional experience, ideally with exposure to infrastructure or government-related projects.
• Proven track record of handling complex lease negotiations, amendments, and construction-related agreements.

• Experience working in or with government entities is a strong asset.
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills.
• Able to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and manage multiple transactions concurrently.
• Open to hybrid work arrangement, with availability to be onsite one day per week.

PREFERRED SKILLS:

• Experience working on large-scale infrastructure or government-related real estate transactions.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify and mitigate legal risks in complex commercial agreements.
• Prior experience working with external law firms and government entities in a collaborative, transaction-driven environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple real estate deals simultaneously with a high level of attention to detail.
• Background in drafting and negotiating construction and architectural agreements is a plus.

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial real estate contracts, including leases, lease amendments, construction and architectural agreements, and other transaction documents.
• Provide comprehensive legal support throughout the entire real estate transaction lifecycle, from acquisition through closing, on large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders, external law firms, and government representatives to facilitate smooth and timely transaction closings.
• Manage multiple real estate acquisitions and transactions.
• Support deal structuring and documentation with a keen eye for detail and risk mitigation.
• Adapt quickly to a fast-paced working environment while maintaining high-quality legal work.
