About Urbano Disegni
Urbano Disegni is a Governance-Led Integrated Project Delivery Consultancy specializing in premium residential, commercial, hospitality, and interior fit-out projects.
Our delivery model connects Design Collaboration, Project Governance, Planning & Controls, Procurement, Execution Management, Quality, Commercial Coordination, and Client Advisory within one accountable project-delivery ecosystem.
As we scale, we are strengthening our Project Management Office and building a more structured, technology-enabled delivery model focused on visibility, accountability, early risk identification, and predictable project outcomes.
Role Purpose
The PMO & Project Controls Manager will act as the operational control centre for multiple projects, connecting schedules, design deliverables, approvals, procurement, site execution, risks, decisions, and management reporting.
This is not only a scheduling or reporting role. The successful candidate will help transform project execution from individual-dependent coordination into a structured, repeatable, system-driven delivery model.
The role should enable management to quickly understand:
What changed? What is delayed? What is at risk? Why? Who owns the action? What decision is required? When must it be closed?
Key Responsibilities
Project Planning & Controls
• Develop project execution plans, baseline schedules, milestones, and delivery programmes.
• Integrate design, approvals, procurement, execution, and handover requirements into project schedules.
• Monitor progress against baseline and forecast completion dates.
• Track critical paths, dependencies, constraints, and milestone slippages.
• Develop recovery plans for delayed activities.
PMO & Project Governance
• Establish and maintain consistent project-control and governance systems.
• Maintain portfolio-level visibility across multiple active projects.
• Develop project dashboards, health scorecards, milestone trackers, and management reports.
• Conduct structured weekly project review meetings.
• Ensure agreed actions have clear owners, due dates, and closure status.
• Maintain project records, governance documentation, and escalation logs.
Design & Decision Control
• Track design deliverables, GFC drawings, consultant inputs, and approvals.
• Maintain design, decision, and approval registers.
• Identify information required to release procurement or execution activities.
• Escalate overdue client, architect, consultant, or management decisions before they affect project milestones.
• Maintain linkage between decisions, drawings, procurement, and execution.
Procurement Tracking
• Develop procurement schedules aligned with project programmes.
• Track material selections, approvals, quotations, purchase commitments, lead times, and deliveries.
• Maintain package-wise procurement dashboards.
• Track long-lead and critical materials.
• Monitor vendor commitments and identify procurement risks early.
• Coordinate closely with Design, Procurement, Vendors, and Project Teams.
Execution Coordination
• Monitor work-front readiness before execution.
• Ensure drawings, approvals, materials, manpower, and preceding activities are available.
• Coordinate Design, Procurement, Vendors, Contractors, Site Teams, and Project Managers.
• Track execution milestones and trade dependencies.
• Identify bottlenecks and drive corrective actions to closure.
Project Intelligence & Reporting

Prepare and maintain:
• Daily Progress Reports where required
• Weekly Project Dashboards
• Project Health Scorecards
• Procurement Status Reports
• Decision & Approval Dashboards
• Risk & Issue Registers
• Milestone and Delay Reports
Management reporting should clearly communicate:
What changed What is at risk Why Owner Required Action Due Date.
Risk, Issue & Escalation Management.
• Maintain project risk and issue registers.
• Identify schedule, procurement, design, execution, quality, and stakeholder risks.
• Assign owners and mitigation actions.
• Track corrective actions through closure.
• Escalate critical risks before they affect project outcomes.
The PMO should operate as an early-warning system , not merely a historical reporting function.
Action & Closure Management.
• Maintain project action registers.
• Ensure every critical action has an owner and due date.
• Track ageing and overdue actions.
• Drive consistent stakeholder follow-up.
• Escalate unresolved dependencies.
• Build a strong culture of ownership, accountability, and closure.
Change, Quality & Handover Control.
• Track design changes, client changes, and project variations.

Responsibilities include:
• Develop SOPs, workflows, templates, and reporting standards.
