Presentation
Many project management programmes are highly theoretical and suited to large projects or organisations. Few address the practical needs of small and medium-sized technical projects below €10 million, the projects most commonly delivered by companies through an in-house technical department or a dedicated project team.
Although strongly influenced by international rules and standards for oil facility construction, this course remains broadly applicable to industrial construction, including production lines, storage, transfer systems and energy generation.
- Based on standard project management principles, the course is tailored to small and medium-sized projects delivered by an in-house technical department or a dedicated team.
- It covers every project management stage, key considerations for sound technical facility design and important details that must not be overlooked.
Objectives
- Provide the fundamental tools of industrial project management to:
- Define a project precisely.
- Improve the reliability of engineering studies.
- Refine contractor selection.
- Ensure contractual compliance on cost, quality and deadlines.
- Manage a schedule effectively.
- Manage a construction site.
- Commission and accept an installation.
- Use a practical, field-based approach to make project engineers immediately effective.
- Strengthen delivery contractor management through a contractual approach.
- Improve overall project control within an existing environment through an organisational approach.

Teaching approach
- Drawing on technical topics commonly encountered in industry, the course explores the specific challenges of facility studies and design with participants.
- Content draws directly on extensive experience managing industrial construction and modification projects, making it readily understandable and directly applicable to ongoing projects.
- Participants apply their learning through case studies at the end of each day.
Audience
- Project engineers, engineers joining a construction department, works and maintenance managers, and project assistants at entry level or with several years of experience.
- The course can be delivered in-company and tailored to an organisation and its project types.
