Lawyer for Legal & Contract Administration/Management - Mining, Resources & Construction Projects Neuplan's point of difference A well-established project and construction management consultancy and multi-disciplined legal practice, Neuplan comprises 35+ multi-disciplined project management consultants, operating out of modern offices based in Perth. Throughout the project life cycle (inception and planning through delivery and execution), we consult for mining, resources, and infrastructure clients - mostly consisting of principals/producers, tier 1 contractors, and engineering companies. Our primary industry sectors include:
mining & resources (iron ore, gold, lithium, precious metals and rare earths) construction public transport infrastructure How does consulting work? Whether advising on a task-by-task basis externally from the corporate office, or seamlessly integrating into an existing client team (secondments of varying duration), our consultants work closely with interdisciplinary colleagues and clients to develop deep knowledge of our core business, diversify their skills, and provide clients with smart practical solutions to manage the challenges facing their large-scale WA, national and international projects.
As a specialist project management consultancy, we prioritise providing our clients with efficient, productive, and quality project outcomes. The work is varied, interesting, and strategic. We are a cost-effective alternative to a traditional legal services model - yet offer equally skilled and professional consulting services, with consultants experienced across multiple industries and being tertiary qualified as:
engineers (mechanical, civil, and structural) quantity surveyors project and construction managers Our consultants often selectively add to their qualifications, as they progressively become exposed to managing further project types within varied industries.
Why Neuplan? Working with exceptional mining, resources and construction clients, including producers/principals and contractors, we offer a collaborative and dynamic work environment. Over time, you may explore working across multiple industry sectors and commodities. You will be mentored by Neuplan Directors (including a Lawyer by trade) and like-minded senior professionals. You won't be expected to market blindly, undertake targeted business development or be required to meet set billing targets - let our networks, professionalism, and track record of high-quality, professional work do the talking.
