  • Provide input on risk mitigation and compliance strategies
  • Contribute to post-acquisition integration and governance matters

Ideal Background

  • Legal degree or Master's in Civil Engineering
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in contract administration with designers and subcontractors
  • Experience in design-build and joint venture construction projects
  • Strong communication, analytical, and organizational skills
  • Commercial awareness and ability to interpret broader business issues
  • Fluent in English; valid driver's license
  • Ability to work in a multicultural environment preferred
