The Project

The Mace Consult legal team provides legal support for the Mace business worldwide, working from our Global HQ in Moorgate, London and our MEA office in Abu Dhabi.

Working with commercial stakeholders and the local leadership team, the ideal candidate will embed Mace Consult’s global governance programme into the business across the Americas hub, linking into the London-based legal team but operating day to day relatively autonomously in a very commercial environment.

  • Understanding of regulatory compliance issues including anti‑bribery, data privacy, modern slavery, etc
  • Familiarity with industry standard forms of contract e.g. FIDIC, NEC

Note: The estimated salary for this position is 130,000 – 180,000 CAD. Starting salary may vary based on permissible, non‑discriminatory factors such as experience, skills and qualifications.
