PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OFFICE
The Tenant Improvement Project (TIP) Program Management Office (PMO) acts as a vital bridge between tenants and the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation – Airports (DOTA). Our role is to facilitate clear communication and simplify complex processes.
We work hand-in-hand with DOTA engineering branches to coordinate reviews, ensure all state and federal regulations are met, and maintain the integrity of airport operations. By serving as a central point of contact, we help accelerate project timelines and ensure that all improvements align with the strategic vision for Hawaiʻi’s airports.
