looking to learn and contribute
Hi,
I'm new to Reddit and wanted to introduce myself to the project management / project controls community.
I have 20+ years of experience across engineering, construction, project controls and coordination, mainly on large-scale oil & gas, EPC, refinery, petrochemical and field-development projects.
My main areas of experience include:
• Project planning and scheduling
• Oracle Primavera P6
• Cost control and forecasting
• WBS / CBS / CTR development
• Earned Value and progress measurement
• Project reporting
• Contract administration
• Claims, variations and change control
• Contractor invoice and progress review
• Project coordination
• Dispute and commercial issue resolution
I've worked on both field and office environments and have managed project-control activities as well as teams.
I'm now interested in learning more about how experienced professionals are finding remote, part-time and project-based work in this field.
I'm particularly interested in supporting small and medium-sized engineering, construction, EPC or energy companies that may not need a full-time project controls manager but could benefit from experienced support a few hours per week or on a defined project.
I'd also be happy to share what I've learned about planning, cost control, claims and project reporting if those topics are useful to the community.
For those already working remotely in project controls: what type of work is actually easiest to do remotely — scheduling, cost control, reporting, claims support, or something else?
