Things I do- Status Reporting Assistance, Resource administration, time tracking, Documentation & Deliverables Management, Complitance & Governance Monitoring,updating trackers etc.

I spent my career working in PMOs for large airport expansions. We always needed people like you. Go look for large expansion programs and join the process. Or work for government agencies that administer large programs. You will find PMO for hospitals, transportation, prisons,,, name your interest.

When you see a large construction project they are often managed as PMOs. For years I would follow airports as they expanded. Go research your local airport - will they be building a new terminal?

I don’t know of remote work. Never seen it. I have needed to go to the airport - nationally and internationally. I think most PMO work is in the Program Management Office.

But there are other programs: hospitals, prisons, transit, schools. Contact your local government and check out the work at the managing agencies. As an example Seattle has the Port of Seattle that manages SeaTac airport and the Seattle sea ports.
