As Legal Counsel, you will play a key role in building solid and thorough legal support in Western Canada to ensure the sustainable growth of Colas Western Canada Inc. and its various operating divisions and subsidiaries (the "Colas West Companies").
The Colas West Companies have operations across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and Yukon, and are engaged in infrastructure, road construction and road maintenance projects across Western Canada for both public and private customers. The Colas West Companies are vertically integrated from aggregate mining to material production to delivering paving and infrastructure construction projects.
In this role, you will support the Colas West Companies and their Head of Legal with a variety of topics ranging from contract analysis and drafting, M&A, real estate (leasing, licensing, sales and acquisitions), insurance, claims and litigation (including collections and builders' lien matters) and labour and employment.
The ideal candidate has a background in construction law or commercial litigation, and is experienced in dealing with construction contracts and claims matters. We are seeking a candidate with construction law experience, but who is also eager to develop their skills in a wide range of topics relevant to a large contractor.
