Associate Counsel - Contracts

At Boldt, we build more than complex projects, and we build strong relationships, great teams, and lasting impact.

Negotiate the Deals. Manage the Risk. Help Build What Matters. At Boldt, legal isn't on the sidelines. As our Associate Counsel (Contracts), you'll be a trusted partner helping shape and advance some of the nation's most complex construction projects. You'll lead the drafting, negotiation, and management of construction and commercial agreements while working directly with operations, procurement, risk management, and project teams to solve real business challenges.

This is a high-impact role for an attorney who enjoys being close to the work, influencing outcomes, and balancing legal strategy with practical business solutions.

We're looking for a contracts-focused attorney who thrives in a fast-paced environment, embraces innovation, and sees technology and AI as tools to work smarter. At Boldt, you'll have the opportunity to streamline processes, improve contracting workflows, and help drive continuous improvement across the organization. As a 100% employee-owned company, we're built on honesty, fairness, hard work, performance, and a love of construction.

The people who succeed here are humble, hungry, smart, reliable, and gritty, and they're passionate about building relationships, solving problems, and leaving a lasting impact on the projects, clients, and communities we serve.
