Executive Overview

AESOM is seeking a highly strategic and execution-focused Head of PMO to lead and institutionalize the Project Management Office for major U.S.-based construction and infrastructure projects.

Procurement & Contract Management

• Lead strategic sourcing, vendor prequalification, and bid evaluation.
• Negotiate subcontractor and supplier agreements.
• Ensure contractual compliance and commercial risk mitigation.
• Optimize procurement costs without compromising quality standards.

Logistics & Supply Chain Oversight

• Manage shipment coordination, customs documentation, and material tracking.
• Oversee warehousing, inventory control, and transportation scheduling.
• Mitigate supply chain risks affecting U.S. project delivery.

Site Operations Leadership

• Provide strategic oversight of construction execution activities.
• Resolve operational bottlenecks and enforce productivity standards.
• Ensure safety, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.

Executive Communication & Reporting

• Maintain exceptional written and verbal English communication across international stakeholders.

Risk & Performance Management

• Identify operational, financial, and scheduling risks proactively.
• Lead mitigation planning to protect margins and delivery commitments.
• Strengthen audit readiness and governance compliance.

Experience:

• 7+ years of experience in construction project management.
• Demonstrated exposure to U.S. construction projects (preferred).
• Strong expertise in Primavera P6 and/or MS Project.
