The VP, PMO Strategy & Governance is a senior leadership role responsible for establishing and leading a centralized Program Management Office within Quanta Services’ supply chain organization. This position is focused on building the governance infrastructure, frameworks, and operational standards needed to manage capital programs supporting the expansion of Quanta’s internal manufacturing capabilities, including transformers and other critical infrastructure components.

Reporting directly to Senior Vice President of Operations, this role operates at the intersection of strategy and execution – defining how capital programs are planned, governed, and measured, while project managers within the manufacturing organization retain direct accountability for day-to-day execution. The VP, PMO serves as the central authority on program standards, portfolio visibility, and performance oversight across the manufacturing capital program portfolio.
This is a build-first role. The successful candidate will design and stand up the PMO from the ground up, establishing repeatable processes, governance structures, and reporting mechanisms that create consistency, accountability, and transparency across all capital initiatives.

This role establishes the foundation for disciplined, scalable program execution across Quanta’s manufacturing and supply chain initiatives. By centralizing governance and program standards – without owning execution directly – the PMO will improve consistency, visibility, and performance across a growing portfolio of capital projects critical to Quanta’s infrastructure growth strategy.
Through standardized methodologies, stage-gate frameworks, and performance dashboards, this leader will create the operational clarity needed to prioritize investments wisely, identify risks early, and drive continuous improvement across the manufacturing organization.
