Description

The position requires the following: * An understanding of contracts, not being over-faced by a lot of documents or attachments * Strong analytical and organization skills * Excellent verbal and written communication skills * Keen attention to detail with an ability to spot errors * Ability to work with varying seniority levels, including staff, managers, and external partners * Excellent time-management skills Having experience of reviewing contracts would obviously be an advantage but previous contract reviewers have become very capable without any previous legal or contract training. Those applying without any experience though would have to show their ability to learn fast and a keen interest in the role. A candidate who would enjoy this role would likely be someone who is generally organised, makes lists or action targets and who can prioritise work. The Para-Legal will be encouraged to carry out basic negotiation and / or modify terms and conditions on contracts in order to reduce company liability or cost. They will work closely with the Contracts Co-Ordinator and Corporate Counsel on more complex areas. Ensuring the correct completed document is signed off properly and stored safely in our files is also key so a completer-finisher type of personality would be a good fit. Whilst client facing contracts form the base of the work, supporting with Collateral Warranties / letters of reliance, confidentiality (non-disclosure agreements), contract novations and supporting with supplier contracts are other potential types of work. Full training and support would be provided to help identity what Stantec looks for in its contracts with clients. Stantec is a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting. The diverse perspectives of our partners and interested parties drive us to think beyond what’s previously been done on critical issues like climate change, digital transformation, and future-proofing our cities and infrastructure. We innovate at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships to advance communities everywhere, so that together we can redefine what’s possible. The Stantec community unites approximately 32,000 employees working in over 450 locations across 6 continents.

Responsibilities
