From individual projects to enterprise-wide improvement
Assignments can range from hands-on cost control for a live project to reviewing and redesigning the wider systems, processes and interfaces used across a portfolio.
Bernard has designed and deployed project controls systems across major capital and small-project portfolios, developed cashflow methodologies adopted beyond the projects function, and supported multidisciplinary teams through engineering, execution, operations support and close-out.
