Next-Generation Mobility Depot Development Project Manager (Property Development and Construction Management)

This project manager leads the end-to-end development of locations that support Newmo’s taxi business, including taxi offices, maintenance bases, driver facilities and vehicle storage sites. The role also leads the launch of next-generation mobility depots designed to support autonomous taxis and future electric vehicle operations, initially at a scale of about 100 vehicles and eventually several thousand.

Responsibilities cover the full project lifecycle, from identifying and evaluating land and properties through lease or acquisition negotiations, design, construction and handover. Site evaluations consider vehicle numbers, traffic flow, maintenance, washing and charging facilities, the surrounding environment, legal and administrative requirements, and future expandability. The role negotiates with property owners, brokers, government offices and local stakeholders on lease terms, acquisition conditions, construction responsibilities and restoration obligations.

As the client-side project manager, the position establishes each site’s development plan, schedule, budget and operating structure. It selects and commissions design firms, construction companies, equipment providers and external project or construction management partners, while managing schedule, quality, cost and safety. Duties also include checking estimates, negotiating prices, planning cost reductions, resolving site issues, coordinating stakeholders and tracking multiple locations in parallel.

The role defines requirements for taxi offices, driver bases, maintenance facilities and vehicle waiting or storage areas. Layout and specifications must reflect driver, maintenance and dispatch operations, as well as vehicle movement, pedestrian flow, work efficiency and safety. The position also advances improvements, expansions, relocations and new launches at existing and new sites.

For charging and power infrastructure, the project manager evaluates properties in light of EV charging equipment, receiving equipment, available power capacity and future expansion. The role coordinates with power-management staff, equipment companies, electricity providers and specialist consultants, and incorporates power and equipment requirements into project plans. Detailed electrical design and specialist technical decisions are handled with specialist personnel and external partners.

The work includes organizing issues related to building, fire, transport, vehicle maintenance, environmental, health and safety requirements; advancing government procedures and notifications; and managing risks involving business continuity, disaster prevention, security, neighboring communities, confidential information and contracts with external partners. The role also creates standardized development processes, checklists and decision criteria for property evaluation, estimates, construction management and handover, working with internal leaders for business, real estate, operations, maintenance and power or equipment functions.

The posting seeks experience developing large-scale facilities, logistics bases, data centers, factories or mobility-related facilities, together with the ability to build repeatable development processes and manage external partners while balancing speed and quality. No education requirement is stated. The role is based in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and requires nationwide business travel because of the multi-location launch work.
