Project Manager, Transportation Facility Development

The Project Manager / Facility Manager will lead the end-to-end development of facilities needed for the expansion of the taxi business, including taxi offices, maintenance bases, crew facilities, and vehicle storage sites. The role is responsible for establishing a repeatable approach to launching multiple locations while coordinating internal teams and external partners.

Responsibilities begin with searching for candidate land and properties and evaluating them against business requirements such as vehicle capacity, traffic flow, maintenance and washing equipment, surrounding conditions, legal and administrative requirements, and future expansion potential. The role will negotiate with property owners, brokers, government bodies, and local stakeholders on lease agreements, acquisition terms, construction responsibility, and restoration conditions.

For each facility, the position will define the development plan, schedule, budget, and project structure. It will select and commission design firms, construction companies, equipment suppliers, and external project or construction management partners. Duties include managing schedule, quality, cost, and safety; checking the validity of estimates; negotiating prices; proposing cost reductions; organizing issues arising on site; supporting decisions; coordinating stakeholders; and tracking multiple facilities in parallel.

The role will also define facility requirements for drivers, maintenance, dispatch operations, vehicle waiting and storage, and related site functions. Layouts and specifications must account for vehicle movement, pedestrian flow, operational efficiency, and safety. Work may include improving, expanding, relocating, or newly opening existing and future sites, preparing IT infrastructure for back-office operations, and examining rapid-charging and power-receiving equipment in anticipation of EV taxis.

Additional responsibilities cover the organization of building, fire, transport, maintenance, environmental, and occupational health and safety issues; administrative procedures and notifications; BCP, disaster preparedness, security, and neighborhood matters; and confidentiality and contract checks when using contractors or other external partners. The position will create development processes, checklists, evaluation criteria, and standards covering property assessment, estimate review, construction management, and handover, while building coordination with business leaders and real estate, operations, and maintenance teams.

The posting seeks experience in developing large facilities, logistics bases, factories, or vehicle-related facilities, together with the ability to work from the client side with external partners and balance speed with quality. It does not state a specific education credential or minimum years of experience. The listed work location is in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and nationwide business travel will occur because the role involves launching multiple sites.
