Or someone with an interest and focus on legal and contractual matters. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 10 years' experience in the construction industry, preferably with a facade, curtain walling or roofing subcontractor. Those who have gained experienced working with main contractors or other subcontractors will be considered if they have demonstrated the ability to perform exceptionally well.
