The corruption-plagued SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., Canada’s largest construction and engineering firm, announced that it has hired a new chief compliance officer to replace Andreas Pohlmann, who will become a consultant on June 1.

Replacing Pohlmann will be David Wilkins, who for the past six years headed compliance at the Dow Chemical Company. Wilkins, who will report to SNC’s chief executive officer, also is former general counsel of the Dow subsidiary Union Carbide Corporation and ex–chief diversity officer of the American Red Cross.
