About Source Projects

Source projects is a proud part of HPX Group, where finding a better path is at the core of what we do. It’s woven into our ethos, our culture. We don’t just work alongside our clients; we immerse ourselves in their world, learning as they learn, growing as they grow. And the result? We create outstanding, long-lasting value – not just for our people and clients, but for the entire community. 

We believe in a people-first culture, where our “people experience” (PX) drives the best client experience (CX). With a values-driven leadership model, we empower our people to grow personally and professionally while working toward a common purpose.

At Source Projects, we are like-minded, driven professionals, who are not just about doing the work – we are transforming how it’s done.

 We believe that bringing together innovative, brilliant and curious commercial, legal and operational people and providing them with the culture, support and systems they need to be their best, we will be able to develop and deliver solutions for our clients, partners and the community that will change the way we do things.

If you aspire for something more, want to challenge yourself, have the courage to overcome failure, we want to hear from you.

The role

As Director, Front-End (Legal) at Source Projects, your role will be to develop a high performing team that delivers exceptional support, advice and compliance to parties that undertake capital projects. You will be responsible for:

• Developing and leading the team: You will have the opportunity to create a best-in-class team, driven to redefine the way we deliver advice, support and strategy on projects.
• Redefining Commercial Strategy & Contract Advice: working not only with the client, you will be jointly advising on projects with our embedded commercial team to craft bespoke contracts.
• Drive End-to-End Project Delivery: Take charge of overseeing complex projects from start to finish, delivering exceptional results in collaboration with a team of motivated, like-minded professionals.
• Advising on claims and disputes: Your deep expertise and knowledge of the project and contracts will be invaluable where projects don’t stay on track, so expect to be part of our team that advise and assist our clients navigating issues that undoubtedly arise.

This leadership position requires you to utilise all your legal, commercial, entrepreneurial and experiential knowledge to building something different.

What We’re Looking For

We want good humans.

Good humans are people that are interested, accountable, driven to make their world a better one and want to do it with others.

Where others see insurmountable obstacles, you see opportunity for growth. You know a better way exists, and you want to be part of the team that makes it.

You are all those things, and you have arrived at these core beliefs because you are open minded and technically brilliant, and to lead our team, we are looking for a leader that has:

• Senior Front-end construction legal experience (with at least 10 years’ experience), with the ability to manage complex matters autonomously without supervision.
• A strong background in contract negotiation, project advisory, and risk management.
• Experience in advising on ongoing projects.
• Extensive experience advising contractors, subcontractors, developers, and government entities on contract risk and project delivery strategies.
• Deep understanding and experience in drafting, negotiating and settling construction contracts, including Australian Standards, government contracts and deeds and bespoke agreements.
• Ability to provide commercially focused legal advice in a fast-paced project environment.
• Proven track record of working on large-scale infrastructure commercial, and residential construction projects.

We know this job won’t be easy. We also know the person who will thrive in this role, is looking for that challenge. Someone who see obstacles as opportunities for growth and inspiration from making a meaningful & measurable impact.

Someone looking for somewhere to be their best, do their best work and leave a legacy.

What’s in it for You?

• Be part of a supportive and high-performing team, with exciting clients and high-quality work.
• Flexible working arrangements to help you be a good human.
• Competitive remuneration, including equity opportunities through our Group’s Equity plan.
