The problem

Growing fast without the infrastructure to match.

More work is coming in, safety requirements are tightening, but you don't have a dedicated employees, a project manager, or safety officer, or a dedicated operations function yet.

Most consultants solve one thing. OPO builds the whole operating system.

Project controlsDo things fall through the cracks: missed milestones, scope creep, and poor client visibility.

Safety coverage or systemsYou need a qualified safety officer on site and a program behind them. Right now you have neither.

Owner-side oversightVendors and contractors need someone accountable for keeping them on track.

Proactive operationsProcesses live in people's heads. Scale requires systems that work without you in every decision.

What OPO delivers

Three pillars. One operating system.

Each pillar stands alone or combines into a complete operating structure for your business.

01
Project Office Support

Project controls, reporting, and accountability. No full-time PM department required.

  • Fractional PMO support
  • SOP development and documentation
  • Project controls and schedule tracking
  • Risk registers and change tracking
  • AI-enabled workflows and reporting
  • Weekly project reporting and dashboards
02
Safety & Compliance Systems

OPO provides the safety officer and the safety systems. On-site coverage and the program infrastructure to back it up.

  • Site startup safety packages
  • Toolbox talk and inspection systems
  • Incident and near-miss tracking
  • Corrective action and training matrix
  • COR readiness support
  • ISO 45001 readiness and implementation
03
Owner Representation

Independent oversight protecting your interests. Progress tracked, vendors held accountable, risks escalated.

  • Contractor and vendor coordination
  • Specification and document review
  • Manufacturing and FAT oversight
  • Budget and schedule visibility
  • Issue escalation and decision support
  • Shipping and commissioning oversight

What makes OPO different

Built from inside the industry.

OPO was built after scaling a PM department from zero to 16 people inside an ISO-certified transformer manufacturer. Not borrowed consulting experience. Earned operational knowledge.

Most consultants deliver a report. OPO builds the infrastructure that keeps running after the engagement ends.

Why OPO works

Not just advice. A working system.

Systems builder, not just executor

OPO builds the systems so your business can handle more volume without becoming reactive. The infrastructure runs after OPO leaves.

Manufacturer-side knowledge

Transformer and electrical infrastructure expertise earned inside a manufacturer. Credible with suppliers, effective for owners.

Safety officer and safety systems

Qualified safety officer coverage plus the management systems behind it. One partner for both.

Fractional model, real commitment

Full project office capability without the full-time cost. Retainer-based, predictable, outcome-focused.

AI-enabled workflows

OPO identifies and implements AI tools that cut manual work and improve operational visibility.

Aligned on your outcomes

No incentive to inflate scope. OPO earns well when you earn well.

How it works

Structure in 30 days. Systems that scale.

STEP 01
Discovery Call

A real conversation about your projects, gaps, and safety obligations. No templates, no pitch deck.

STEP 02
Engagement Scope

One, two, or all three pillars. Clear deliverables and a 30-day commitment to implemented results.

STEP 03
Systems Built

Project trackers, SOPs, safety packages, and reporting cadences. Built and running, not just recommended.

STEP 04
Operational Control

Your business runs on the infrastructure OPO built. OPO stays on as your fractional project office, or hands off a fully documented system your team runs independently.

Safety & Compliance Systems

The safety officer and the system. Both.

Qualified safety coverage on your projects, plus the program and documentation behind it. One source for the officer on site and the systems that support them.

  • Fractional safety officer for project and site work
  • OHS program development and implementation
  • Site startup packages and hazard identification
  • Toolbox talks and field inspection systems
  • Incident, near-miss, and corrective action tracking
  • Contractor safety compliance management
  • COR readiness and internal audit support
  • ISO 45001 implementation and gap assessment
  • Training matrix and records management

About OPO
Mariah
Feser
PMP, Founder & Principal

OPO was founded after building a PM department from zero to 16 people at a multi-site, ISO-certified transformer manufacturer. That experience is the foundation of everything OPO delivers.

The work was operational: SOPs, project systems, supplier management, and cross-functional process design on real electrical infrastructure projects. OPO brings that depth to clients who need it without the full-time overhead.

Serving clients across Canada and the United States.
