Adapting to a Changing Industry
The utility sector is rapidly evolving, facing new challenges including:
Disjointed Project Execution
Engineering, procurement, and construction are often siloed, leading to miscommunication, missed details, and costly delays.
Loss of Expertise Across the Workforce
Retirements and lack of new talent are draining utilities of critical knowledge, leaving inexperienced teams to manage high-stakes capital projects.
Poorly Defined Scopes and Standards
Unclear SOWs and outdated or missing utility standards cause major issues late in projects - often during commissioning.
Inexperienced Project Management
Utilities increasingly rely on Engineering, PMs, and CMs without utility backgrounds, resulting in coordination failures and budget/schedule overruns.
