About the role

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, based in Houston, TX, seeks an Assistant General Counsel to provide proactive legal advice across internal functions, with a focus on contracting and commercial support for domestic and international projects. The role requires a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, Texas Bar admission, and 3–5 years of relevant experience in maritime, construction, or asset-intensive business. Strong negotiation and communication skills are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
