You understand the need to work closely with your clients and partners to achieve the best results for the organization.
In this role, you will:
-Build a solid understanding of our business and strategic objectives and regulatory requirements to provide quality legal advice and support.
-Apply your legal knowledge and experience to directly support business units, senior management and our executive leadership team.
-Foster strong working relations with business units and key stakeholders, promoting collaboration across legal and business functions.

-Provide legal guidance in the context of both sustainment capital projects and major projects.
-Monitor emerging legal trends and requirements applicable to the organization, to proactively assess impacts and manage risks.
-Engage, instruct, and oversee external legal counsel, as necessary.
What it takes:

-Previous experience in real property matters including leasing, easements, lands dispositions and acquisitions, expropriations, and resolving trespass concerns.
-A demonstrated analytical ability and attention to detail to identify, analyze, research, evaluate legal issues, interpret legislation, and provide legal opinions and advice.
-An extensive background in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating real property contracts.
-Thorough organizational skills to manage multiple time-sensitive files and projects concurrently.
-Experience in a regulated environment would also be an asset.
What you need to know:

In this role, you will have the option to participate in a flexible work program, enabling you to work from an approved flex location in British Columbia up to 85 days a year (equivalent to approximately two days a week), subject to business or operational needs.
