I would like to know the accurate translation into U.S. English for "contrato de arrendamiento de obra".

In Uruguay, it refers to hiring a professional for a specific job, for a specific period.

In this context, refers to hiring construction work managers. The contact has a end date.

If more explanations are needed, please advise. Thank you.

one-off project-based contract' scheme
Explanation:
The staff had been engaged under.....

I think this means a one-off project contract as a species of fixed-term contract or one 'for a term uncertain', as it used to be called in UK employment law.

arrendamiento de obra (Esp) 1. work contract (to achieve a particular result, as opposed to a *services contract 2. construction contract (West)

Note that, on the Brit. Isles including Ireland, a distinction is made between a *contract for services (taxed on a self-employed, freelance basis) vs. a contract of service, so of company director's etc. contract of employment.
