Project Controls professionals have the opportunity to move horizontally as well as vertically in the organization. Horizontal means moving across the project phases, processes, and functions. You can involve in the early pre-project planning, tendering/bidding, Detailed Planning, Monitoring the execution of the work, facilitating the completion, capturing the benefits realization, and recording the lessons learnt in the project. Vertically means you can communicate with the Top Management to provide strategic inputs and insights on the performance of the portfolio of projects. And down at the project and activity level you interact with the engineers, technicians and workers. What a wide range we can reach, explore, and learn! #Projectcontrols

Young Engineer : I have 4 years of experience working as a QA/QC Engineer. Can I shift to Project Controls role? Me : Why do you want to shift into Project Controls? Young Engineer : Since my Engineering days I was interested in Project Planning, but due to COVID pandemic it impacted our placement and I could not get that opportunity. I was able to get placed in Quality department. However, I have made use of this opportunity and obtained exposure in Execution, Project Management, and gained technical knowledge. I think I am ready to transition to Project Controls Me : That is good. You also need to get understanding of contractual aspects, early planning stages, estimation, execution strategies, project procedures, dynamics of cash flow, analyzing risks, preparing reports and communication. You need to know the technical aspects of the project, integration of the deliverables and the project sequence. Of course you cannot learn it fully without working on it. Young Engineer : Ok I got it, what should be my next approach? Me : Start applying for Project Control roles. Your experience will help you in your pursuit, you might as well get equipped with some PC tools, so that it does not become hindrance in the selection process. Young Engineer : Yes, I am learning various tools required in Project Controls. Thank you for the suggestions. Please share your thoughts...... #projectcontrols #projectmanagement
