💼 Associate | Energy & Infrastructure Projects
Career Staffing Talent (CST) has partnered with a top-tier Am Law firm to identify a Mid-Level Associate (3–6 years) for its nationally recognized Energy & Infrastructure Projects practice.
This is a financing-forward role within a sophisticated project finance platform representing developers, sponsors, lenders, and institutional investors on complex energy and infrastructure transactions.
Associates in this group work across a diversified portfolio of assets including renewable energy, power generation, LNG infrastructure, transmission, and emerging energy transition technologies.
What You’ll Be Doing
✔️ Draft and negotiate core project finance documentation including credit agreements, security packages, guarantees, and intercreditor agreements
✔️ Lead transaction closings, including managing checklists, signature packets, funds flows, and conditions precedent
✔️ Run financing workstreams across project finance, energy M&A, and joint venture transactions
✔️ Coordinate with specialist teams including tax, regulatory, and environmental counsel
✔️ Manage sponsor and lender due diligence streams, identifying issues affecting project bankability and financing structure
✔️ Review and negotiate project agreements including EPC contracts, O&M agreements, and power purchase agreements (PPAs)
What We’re Looking For
✔️ 3–6 years of transactional experience at a large law firm or comparable platform
✔️ Background in project finance, infrastructure transactions, or asset-heavy financings, ideally within the energy sector
✔️ Experience managing financing workstreams and transaction closings
✔️ Exposure to tax equity structures, tax credit monetization, or complex capital stack structures is a plus
✔️ Experience representing sponsors, developers, lenders, or investors in energy or infrastructure transactions
✔️ Strong academic credentials and bar admission (or ability to waive in) within the relevant jurisdiction
✔️ Strong communication skills and the ability to manage complex deal processes across multiple parties
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This practice is widely recognized for handling complex project finance and energy infrastructure transactions across North America.
Associates in the group benefit from:
• Exposure to high-value energy and infrastructure transactions
• Experience across renewables, power, LNG, and energy transition assets
• Opportunities to run core financing workstreams and transaction closings
• Collaboration with leading sponsors, lenders, and institutional investors in the sector
The firm offers market-competitive BigLaw compensation, strong deal flow, and a hybrid work environment across major financial and energy hubs.
