We are looking for a Solicitor to give key support to SGN’s regulated and unregulated group companies through the delivery of high quality legal advice.

I keep people safe and warm by…

  • Providing prompt, effective and commercially useful legal advice on all aspects of health and safety litigation to minimise financial and legal risks;
  • Participating in the development and production of new procedures and standard form precedents to ensure compliance and protection;
  • Ensuring the provision of legal services is in accordance with SGN’s internal governance, statutory powers and licence obligations;
  • Providing regular reports, instructing clients and management teams on progress; and

  • You have experience of providing legal services and expertise across multiple company functions;
  • Proven negotiation and resolution skills, with the ability to deliver pragmatic commercial solutions to the business on complex issues;
  • You are self-motivated, proactive and a keen problem solver with a thoughtful and practical approach to decision making based on accurate analysis;
  • You are confident in presenting to key internal and external stakeholders, both written and verbal;
  • You possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills;
  • You have experience developing more junior members of a team through effective coaching and mentoring;
  • You are a dedicated and effective team player, committed to continuous improvement and motivated to learn new areas of law
  • Experience working in-house within the Energy industry is advantageous but not required

This role will require flexibility with travel to different locations including Reading and London.

If you don’t have all the qualifications, we would still love to hear from you… we provide our own specialised learning and development programs, providing access to learning tools to help you acquire the skills needed to excel in our environment.
