What you will do:
The Global Program Manager, Construction Programs, provides program-level governance, oversight, and reporting for a portfolio of active construction projects across multiple regions. This role focuses on integrated scheduling, financial governance, risk management, and executive-ready visibility rather than direct, start-to-finish project execution. The ideal candidate delivers data-driven insights, aligns cross-project activities, and enables timely decision-making by executives and sponsors.
How you will do it:
Program governance and framework: establish and maintain the program management framework, including Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), work breakdown structure (WBS), change control, risk and issue management, and standardized reporting templates.
Integrated schedule management: own and continuously refine the IMS across all active projects; identify cross-project dependencies, critical paths, and milestones; maintain schedule integrity and provide cross-project schedule dashboards.
Portfolio risk and issue management: maintain a program-level risk/issue register, develop mitigation plans, track risk trends, and escalate critical concerns to executives as needed.
Financial governance across the portfolio: consolidate budgets and baselines, forecast as-built vs. forecasted spend, perform cost-to-complete analyses, apply Earned Value Management (EVM) at the program level, manage procurement strategy, and oversee major contract changes impacting multiple projects.
Reporting and analytics: design and deliver executive dashboards and cadence for monthly/quarterly program reviews; provide trend analysis, variance explanations, scenario planning, and data-driven recommendations.
Stakeholder and governance management: coordinate with owners, sponsors, design teams, construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, regulators, and internal leadership; facilitate governance forums and provide clear, concise status updates.
Interface and integration management: ensure constructability alignment, consistency of standards, BIM coordination, and alignment with commissioning and handover requirements across all sites.
Resource and PMO coordination: allocate program controls resources (scheduling, cost, risk, reporting) across projects; monitor overall capacity; enable cross-project knowledge transfer and standard methodologies.
Quality, safety, and compliance oversight at the portfolio level: promote safety culture and regulatory compliance across sites; align QA/QC approaches and metrics.
Change management at the program level: evaluate scope changes that impact multiple projects; coordinate with design and procurement to quantify schedule and cost impacts; maintain cross-project change logs.
Benefits realization and handover readiness: ensure programs deliver intended operational readiness, complete closeout documentation, warranties, and capture lessons learned for future programs.
