Contract Project Management

Someone who speaks controls, electrical and schedule.

Industrial projects fail at the interfaces, between the owner, the electrician, the OEM, the integrator and the panel shop. That is where a project manager who understands the technical detail earns their keep.

Controls heavy projects have a particular failure mode. Every party does their own scope competently, and the project still slips, because nobody owned the gaps between them. The OEM assumed the integrator was providing the network. The electrician assumed the panel shop was supplying the terminations. Nobody asked until commissioning week.

We offer contract project management for exactly this situation: someone who can read a schematic, understand what a vendor is actually promising, and translate between a plant manager and a controls engineer without losing the detail in either direction.

This is a distinct service from our engineering work. On some projects we do both; on others we manage while somebody else does the integration, which is entirely normal and occasionally preferable.

What this covers

  • Scope definition and interface responsibility matrices
  • Schedule development and milestone tracking
  • Vendor and contractor coordination meetings
  • Factory and site acceptance test planning
  • Commissioning sequencing and punch list management
  • As built documentation, training handoff and closeout

Where is your project stuck?

Usually it is an interface between two parties who each think the other has it.
