Construction Solicitor (NQ – 3 years PQE)

Construction Solicitor (NQ–2 PQE)
Belfast – Top-Tier Commercial Firm

Artemis Human Capital is currently working with a prominent commercial law firm in Northern Ireland that is looking to add a junior solicitor to its market-leading Construction team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a newly qualified solicitor or someone with up to 2 years’ post-qualification experience who’s keen to specialise in construction and engineering law.

The team is consistently involved in some of the most significant and high-value construction projects across the region. With a reputation for excellence in both contentious and non-contentious work, they advise a broad client base that includes developers, main contractors, sub-contractors, consultants, funders, and insurers. Their deep sector knowledge and commercial insight make them a go-to practice for complex construction mandates.

What makes this team stand out?

• Breadth of work: You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of construction and engineering matters – from contract drafting and procurement strategy to risk management and dispute resolution.

• High-calibre clients & projects: The team supports some of NI’s most recognisable infrastructure, energy, and commercial developments.

• Collaborative working: The core construction lawyers work closely with specialists in planning, real estate, procurement, and health & safety to deliver a seamless, sector-focused service.

• Strong support & development: The firm places real emphasis on developing talent, offering structured training and genuine career progression opportunities.

Who should apply?

This role would suit a newly qualified solicitor with a seat in construction, commercial litigation, or real estate – or someone with up to two years’ PQE looking to specialise in construction law. Strong drafting skills, attention to detail, and a commercial mindset are essential, along with a genuine interest in the built environment and infrastructure sectors.

Whether you’re qualifying soon or already practicing and looking to make a move into a high-performing team, this is an opportunity to join a firm known for investing in its people and for offering access to excellent work, mentoring, and career prospects.
