Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be someone who can move comfortably between the construction site and the compliance documentation. They understand that effective compliance is more than reviewing paperwork—it requires being present in the field, building productive relationships with contractors and workers, identifying issues early, and maintaining the documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance throughout the life of the project.
