Job Description

Construction Attorney (3+ Years)

Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time | Work arrangement to be confirmed

If you enjoy structuring the deals that get buildings and infrastructure off the ground, this role puts you at the center of construction contracting work, with a clear pay range and a team that values strong project managers.

Protem Legal is working closely with a distinguished practice with an active construction group to recruit a Construction Attorney.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Transactional construction work, not just disputes
• Public and private project contracting experience valued
• A published pay range of $164,000–$182,000
• Hands-on contract negotiation across many project types

About the Role

You'll advise on construction projects from the contract stage forward: negotiating agreements for different project types and guiding clients through the procurement of public design and construction contracts in Ohio. It's a good fit for someone who likes to keep many moving pieces organized.

What You'll Do

• Negotiate and draft contracts for a range of construction projects
• Advise on the procurement process for Ohio public design and construction contracts
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines for several attorneys
• Work both on your own and as part of a team on client matters

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of transactional construction law experience
• Experience with Ohio public design and construction procurement
• Clear, persuasive drafting and solid analytical skills
• A strong academic record and sound judgment
• Proven ability to keep projects and deadlines on track

Work Environment

This is a full-time role based in Cincinnati. The firm's posting lists multiple possible office locations, so other locations in the region may be discussed.

Compensation

$164,000–$182,000 per year, based on background, experience and education.

How to Apply

If construction contracting is where you do your best work, apply confidentially through Protem Legal. We'll contact you before anything is shared with the firm.
