Project Management & Controls

Project Managers are the people who have the responsibility of delivering projects safely, on schedule and on budget.

Description:

Project managers lead an integrated project team of professionals in the design, construction, commissioning or decommissioning of some of the most challenging projects across industry.

Programme managers take a more strategic view whilst managing a group of related projects and business as usual activities to bring about a beneficial change to the organisation.

Project controls are vital for the successful completion of any project and provide the “eyes and ears” of good project delivery. Project Control is about the intelligent use of lifecycle data to support delivery and adds value by looking ahead and identifying potential issues that may impact delivery.
