Job Description
Our client is seeking a Construction PMO Manager to support federal government construction contracts across the Asia, Pacific, and Indian Ocean (APAC) regions. This is a net‑new leadership role responsible for establishing and overseeing a centralized Program Management Office (PMO) that provides shared services across multiple active construction contracts.
