THE FSM AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

The Government of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) seeks well-qualified individuals to fill the position of Project Management Office(PMO) Manager with the FSM National Government, within the Department of Transportation, Communication, and Infrastructure – Project Management Office (DoTC&I–PMO). This position will be based in Pohnpei State.

1.0 Introduction

The Federated States of Micronesia is implementing an expanding portfolio of infrastructure investments across the transport, maritime, aviation, roads, public buildings, utilities, climate resilience, and related sectors. Many of these projects are financed through the U.S. Compact of Free Association and other external funding arrangements and require disciplined project preparation, procurement, implementation oversight, contract administration, and reporting at both national and state levels. In addition to capital infrastructure projects, the Compact framework also includes the Infrastructure Maintenance Fund (IMF) program, which requires structured planning, programming, monitoring, reporting, and coordination to ensure that maintenance resources are used effectively to protect public assets and sustain serviceability over time.

The Department of Transportation, Communications and Infrastructure, through the Program Management Unit, is responsible for national coordination of Compact infrastructure programming and for supporting compliant and effective delivery of major infrastructure projects. Within this framework, the Pohnpei Project Management Office serves as the principal state-level implementation and coordination mechanism for Compact-funded and other externally financed infrastructure projects in Pohnpei State and shall also provide leadership and oversight for implementation of the Infrastructure Maintenance Fund program under the Compact within the State, in coordination with national systems and approved maintenance programming arrangements.

To strengthen execution, fiduciary discipline, stakeholder coordination, and performance reporting of infrastructure projects in the State, the Department seeks to engage a qualified Head of the Project Management Office. The position is intended to provide strategic leadership, technical and commercial oversight, day-to-day delivery management, and high-level coordination between the National Government, Pohnpei State Government, consultants, contractors, communities, and development partners, while also ensuring effective planning and oversight of the Infrastructure Maintenance Fund program under the Compact.

The position shall be based in Pohnpei State and shall report to DTC&I, while being guided by the Program Management Unit Program Director, relevant national agencies, Pohnpei State authorities, the Office of Compact Management, the Department of Finance and Administration, and development partners involved in infrastructure delivery and maintenance programming.

2.0 Background

The Federated States of Micronesia comprises four states dispersed across a vast area of the North Pacific. This geographic dispersion creates unusual infrastructure management challenges, including high mobilization costs, remoteness of project sites, fragmented logistics chains, limited contractor markets, weather and climate vulnerability, and the need for close coordination between national institutions and state-level implementing entities. In Pohnpei State, these challenges are compounded by the importance of protecting strategic transport, public service, and community assets while maintaining continuity of works in difficult operational conditions.

The Department of Transportation, Communications and Infrastructure is responsible for coordinating the national infrastructure development program and for supporting implementation of infrastructure projects financed under the Compact of Free Association and other external assistance frameworks. Infrastructure projects are programmed through the Infrastructure Development Plan and the Annual Implementation Plan and are subject to Compact governance, financial management, procurement, and reporting requirements. The Program Management Unit within DTC&I provides national-level coordination, systems oversight, reporting support, and implementation guidance. The Compact framework also provides for maintenance-related funding through the Infrastructure Maintenance Fund program, which requires disciplined prioritization, programming, documentation, and monitoring to ensure that completed and existing public infrastructure assets remain functional and serviceable.

To strengthen state-level implementation and improve oversight of projects in Pohnpei State, DTC&I has established a dedicated Pohnpei Project Management Office. The Pohnpei PMO is intended to function as the principal delivery, coordination, and project control office for infrastructure projects within the State, while remaining fully aligned with national systems, Compact requirements, approved budgets, and reporting obligations. The office is expected to lead state-level project planning, implementation management, contract administration support, progress monitoring, stakeholder communication, and risk escalation in relation to all infrastructure projects assigned to it, and to provide leadership, programming oversight, and performance monitoring for Infrastructure Maintenance Fund activities undertaken in Pohnpei State.

The Head of the Pohnpei PMO is therefore required to provide strong leadership over the office and to ensure that infrastructure projects and Infrastructure Maintenance Fund activities in Pohnpei State are properly planned, appraised, programmed, procured, implemented, supervised, documented, monitored, and reported. The role requires the ability to work across technical, commercial, fiduciary, and institutional boundaries and to translate national policy and Compact compliance requirements into disciplined project delivery and infrastructure maintenance management at state level.

3.0 Objectives of Assignment

The purpose of the position is to provide strategic leadership, technical oversight, implementation control, and institutional management for the Pohnpei Project Management Office so as to ensure effective planning, procurement, delivery, monitoring, compliance, and reporting of Compact-funded and other externally financed infrastructure projects in Pohnpei State, together with leadership and oversight of the Infrastructure Maintenance Fund program under the Compact as it applies within the State. Sub-objectives of the assignment include:

• Ensuring that infrastructure projects and Infrastructure Maintenance Fund activities in Pohnpei State are aligned with the Infrastructure Development Plan, Annual Implementation Plan, approved funding allocations, maintenance priorities, and national and state priorities;
• Providing high-level project and program management support across the full project life cycle, from concept development and readiness through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, defects management, maintenance planning, and closeout;
• Strengthening project control, maintenance programming, contract administration, reporting, record-keeping, and fiduciary practices within the Pohnpei PMO;
• Improving coordination between DTC&I, the Program Management Unit, Pohnpei State Government, implementing agencies, communities, consultants, contractors, maintenance personnel, and development partners;
• Ensuring timely identification and escalation of delivery constraints, maintenance backlogs, contract risks, safeguards issues, financial bottlenecks, and institutional obstacles affecting project execution and asset upkeep;
