Senior Corporate Real Estate Consultant, PSEG“This is a good course for the entry level and intermediate project manager, lots of good building block concepts.”
Executive Director, Pueblo of Acoma Utility AuthorityUtility projects are complex and executed under unique constraints, requiring project managers to navigate intricate regulatory structures, public involvement, the overseas procurement of long-lead equipment, and system outage coordination. These factors can intensify traditional project management challenges, leading to schedule delays, cost overruns, safety risks, and coordination breakdowns. As a result, utility projects require a unique approach to planning, execution, and leadership that varies from traditional commercial projects.
This two-day course provides a practical, utility-focused framework for managing projects from early planning through field execution. Attendees will explore why utility projects frequently struggle to meet schedule and budget expectations, how different types of utility projects introduce unique challenges, and how early decisions around project structure, delivery method, and contracts shape project outcomes. Throughout the course, emphasis is put on recognizing early warning signs, making informed decisions, actively managing handoffs and milestones, and leading teams effectively in dynamic project environments.
By the end of the course, attendees will be better equipped to anticipate challenges, manage execution risks, and lead utility projects with greater confidence, control, and consistency. Whether you are a project manager by title or you were just given the responsibility of managing a project from beginning to end, this course will provide the knowledge and skills to help you be successful in that role.
