About Solar Provider Group

Solar Provider Group (SPG) is a global solar developer with offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands and active projects across North America and Europe. This role is part of the Company's North American team, which is focused primarily on the development of solar and BESS projects in the United States and Canada, with most current activity in the United States. We identify, secure, and advance high-quality sites through the full development cycle, from early-stage land acquisition to construction readiness. Our team combines technical expertise, financial insight, and strong local relationships to deliver projects that accelerate the clean-energy transition and create lasting value for landowners and communities.

The Role

We are seeking a practical, business-minded, and highly organized Legal Counsel, Real Estate and Project Development to support the Company's U.S. development platform, with a primary focus on title, survey, curative, project closings, and related real estate matters, while also supporting broader development and project specific legal workstreams as needed. Reporting to the General Counsel, this role will work closely with internal development, engineering, land acqisition, finance, and executive stakeholders, as well as outside counsel, title companies, surveyors, and other third parties, to help identify, assess, and resolve real estate and project-related legal issues across the portfolio.

This role is ideal for a lawyer who combines strong U.S. commercial real estate fundamentals with sound commercial judgment and a solutions-oriented approach. The successful candidate will be expected to manage day-to-day title and real estate legal workstreams with increasing independence, while also supporting project transactions and related in-house legal work as needed. This role requires substantive experience with U.S. real estate practice.

This role is fully remote for U.S.-based candidates and hybrid for Toronto-based candidates, with at least three days per week in the Company's Liberty Village office. Occasional travel within the United States may be required.
