Job Description

The Senior Corporate Counsel will serve as a strategic legal partner to Veolia's Industrial Water business, providing comprehensive legal support across new business development and existing customer operations. This role requires a proactive, business-minded attorney who can balance legal risk management with commercial objectives while maintaining strong relationships across the organization.

Essential Responsibilities:

Support negotiation of alternative delivery models including Design Build Operate Maintain (DBOM), Design Build Finance Operate Maintain (DBFOM), and Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) contracts.
  • Contract Portfolio Management: Manage a 70/30 mix of third-party/customer-initiated contracts versus Veolia-proposed agreements, leveraging established O&M templates and emerging contract frameworks
  • Risk Assessment & Deal Support: Conduct risk assessments addressing litigation, reputational, and deal structure risks; participate in meetings throughout the deal lifecycle
  • Amendment Management: Draft, review, negotiate, and advise on agreement amendments, with emphasis on scope, pricing, and term extensions
  • Proactive Legal Support: Lead amendment drafting efforts (70/30 in favor of Veolia-initiated versions) while managing customer-initiated revisions and alternative forms
  • Dispute & Claims Management: Advise on incidents, accidents, potential claims, disputes, and contract terminations
  • Early Dispute Resolution: Provide early to mid-stage dispute advice, manage outside counsel relationships, and represent the company in written and oral communications with customer legal teams (prior to litigation handoff)
  • Operational Partnership: Meet regularly with the Industrial Water COO to ensure effective communication, coordinate legal and operational priorities, and support organizational initiatives
  • Contract Repository & Governance: Build and maintain an accurate, organized contract repository across all customers and active contracts; assess, catalog, and categorize contracts; conduct cross-functional reviews of underperforming or low-revenue contracts and recommend remediation strategies

Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school
  • Active bar license in good standing
  • 10+ years of legal experience, preferably in commercial contracts, service agreements, or project delivery

  • Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders
  • Experience managing outside counsel and early-stage dispute resolution
  • Ability to work collaboratively across business functions

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
