MineWerx Global Consulting has been engaged for the executive search for a Leadership level position, with commensurate compensation, and incentive.

An Opportunity to Build Something of Your Own

Our client, a rapidly expanding ASX-listed mining services group, with operations across four continents, is seeking a commercially minded legal leader for their North American region; which will become their third, billion dollar, global region.

Why This Role Exists Now: Growth Requires Structure

North American operations are expanding rapidly across British Columbia, Ontario, and Nevada, with the company actively tendering for additional projects in what has been described as \"the largest hard rock, underground mining market in the world.\"

This trajectory demands someone who can establish the legal and commercial infrastructure to support sustainable growth. You will have broad scope to develop and scale commercial and legal systems that are fit for the region. You will not be executing someone else's strategy - you will be shaping it.

What Makes This Different: Commercial Leadership, Not Just Legal Compliance

This is a commercial role that requires legal credentials, not a legal role that occasionally thinks about commercial outcomes. You will be integral to winning new work, establishing operations in new states and provinces, and developing relationships with clients, prospective clients, subcontractors, and First Nations partners.

You will manage legal and regulatory matters, but always with a commercial lens. You will review and negotiate mining contracts, pragmatically managing risk while enabling the business to win work and deliver for clients.

The Opportunity: A Step Up

If you've been working under a General Counsel for years, doing excellent work but ready for the chance to actually build something of your own, this is it.

Work largely autonomously, influence strategic decision-making from day one, build capacity in a region, and establish your mark on a business with fantastic competitive advantage and ambitious growth plans. You will build the function, establish best practices, and develop your own team over the next 3-5 years as the region expands.

The Right Person

• 8-15 years of experience, full of energy, wanting to make a mark
• Commercially minded with strong commercial acumen and strategic mindset
• Prior experience in contracting services (mining, energy or construction industries)
• Qualified legal practitioner with ability to practice in the State of Colorado (or willingness to be admitted to the Colorado Bar)
• Strong relationship-building skills and ability to deliver messages in a clear and influential manner
• Comfortable with autonomy and see ambiguity as opportunity rather than uncertainty
• Understanding of the contractor business model

This role is for you if:

• You're ready to step up and build your own function
• You understand that supporting operational teams is as important as legal precision
• You're comfortable with autonomy
• You want your career trajectory tied to business growth, not bureaucratic promotion cycles
• You're ready to travel throughout North America as business needs require

This role is not for you if:

• You're seeking a traditional General Counsel role with a large established team
• You prefer highly structured environments where systems are completely defined
• You want to focus purely on legal compliance rather than commercial outcomes

My client will fully relocate the successful candidate interstate, if required.

For an immediate response, and full brief, apply today.
