Project Control Engineers

As a Guild of Project Controls Fellow and one who is also an Assessor aiding in the certification process of others who wish to join our GUILD as World Class Experts, we deliver projects on schedule and within budget. These aren’t difficult to understand. People worry about how our U.S.A. government spends money, and they should be; we are not the deep pockets for the world when there are so many citizens to care for.

When one specializes in the science of project controls, one must explain the methodology and time-proven procedures and pass them on for future utilization. ???????????????????
