There is a sense of camaraderie that comes with delivering impactful projects as a team. It creates a sense of humility and fosters pride in the work we do. At Clark, we are proud to build what matters, together.

From hospitals and airports to roads and educational facilities, we rely on the leadership, diverse talents, and dedication of the Clark team to deliver assets and infrastructure that are integral to our everyday lives.

Come join the Clark team and help build the world around us.

Clark seeks an experienced transactional attorney to play a critical role in negotiating and advising on contracts across Clarks infrastructure projects. Reporting directly to one of the Senior Vice Presidents who jointly lead Clarks Legal Department, the successful candidate will serve as an integrated, strategic partner to leaders across the business.

Responsibilities

  • Support negotiation efforts to achieve contract terms consistent with Clarks corporate standards on construction contracts with owners/developers, JV and teaming agreements, design agreements, subcontracts, and various other agreements.
  • Analyze, review and draft contracts, discussing issues and priorities with the business teams and corporate leadership at various stages of each project, from the early RFQ/RFI stage through bidding, contract negotiation, and the life of the project.
  • Supervise and work with outside counsel where appropriate on particular matters.
