Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire PMO Managers who make a capital project organization run on one operating system — stage-gate governance, reporting standards, resource visibility, and project-delivery playbooks that PMs actually follow. Owner-side PMO build and run history verified.
A structured process for the hire that decides whether your PMO is the connective tissue of the capital program — or a reporting layer everyone routes around.
30-minute call. Align on PMO maturity (build vs. run), portfolio size, governance model, tooling, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 PMO Managers with owner-side capital PMO history at comparable scale. References from prior program executives included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Capital-projects PMO is its own discipline. IT PMO transplants stall when the portfolio is measured in MW and inspection holds, not sprints. We shortlist PMO Managers who have run governance for construction and infrastructure portfolios.
Every candidate has run or built a PMO for capital construction portfolios — stage gates, cost and schedule standards, and delivery playbooks in an owner environment.
Reference-verified adoption: PMs and delivery partners actually using the templates, gates, and cadences — confirmed by the people who had to.
Verified portfolio reporting (Power BI, P6-fed dashboards, e-Builder/Unifier data) that executives used to make funding and resourcing decisions.
Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:
Named PMOs stood up or materially matured — scope, portfolio size, and outcomes verified.
Gate design, review cadence, and enforcement discipline verified with prior executives.
Cost, schedule, risk, and change standards written and adopted across PM teams.
P6 program integration, e-Builder/Unifier/PMWeb administration, Power BI reporting stacks.
PMP standard; PgMP or PfMP a plus. Owner-side capital experience remains the primary credential.
Manager and senior-track comp bands aligned before finalists are introduced.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — PMO maturity, portfolio scale, and governance model.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks.
US base salaries typically run $130k–$175k, with senior PMO managers on large mission-critical portfolios at $160k–$195k+ plus bonus. We confirm current bands for your metro during scoping.
The PMO Manager runs the PMO’s operations — standards, reporting, gate administration, and PMO staff. The PMO Director owns the function at executive level: portfolio strategy, org design, and a seat at capital-planning decisions. Smaller owners combine them; large programs need both.
Occasionally — but capital construction governance has different physics: long-lead procurement, retention, pay applications, and AHJ milestones. We prioritize candidates who have governed construction portfolios, with IT PMO tooling skills as a bonus rather than the base.
Yes. Every PMO Manager placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Multi-hire builds (PMO manager + analysts + coordinators + schedulers) route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the PMO Manager role you need, portfolio scale, governance model, and tooling — then recommend the right hire path and start sourcing.
