Project Environmental – We help growing businesses evolve their way of working and achieve sustainable growth

Services

We understand that the needs of every project or business are unique and ever-changing. The individual requirements and ethos of our clients are central to defining how we help, but our objective always remains the same: to build a lasting legacy of capability and success.

Working in your team, we bring a combined skillset of senior technical consultancy experience, commercial and project management proficiency, and high-level strategic direction.

We believe that project management decisions profit from an understanding of the technical risks and opportunities of the project, but also of the wider market. Likewise, the commercial and contractual context of a project or business should influence the content and delivery of a technical report. When delivering project management or technical consultancy support, our clients benefit from the synergy between all three areas of our expertise.

Project Management Environmental Noise, Vibration Air Quality Expertise Business Growth Strategy

We can provide preliminary project leadership to kick-start a challenging new contract. We initiate effective working by defining clear roles, responsibilities and communication channels, bedding-in efficient practices and establishing robust quality control procedures. We can do this in a client facing role as a member of your team, or through support and guidance behind the scenes. In either case, we aim to ensure your client is confident that their needs are clearly understood, while also managing your project risks and maximising your opportunities.

We can also provide continued project management coverage, working within your existing company procedures to achieve specific project objectives. We will help you to establish a clear division of responsibilities between project manager and technical expert, allowing both departments to get on with what they do best!

In a similar capacity to our project management services, we provide technical leadership on noise, vibration and air quality projects to support the preparation and submission of deliverables that meet the needs of both your business and your client. This role can work as a standalone service on a single large project, or across multiple projects within a sector of the company.

Taking our involvement above project level, we offer support with the development and implementation of company-wide operational improvements aimed at realising the ambitions of a business plan. We work with senior people to review and adapt operational structures and processes to ensure quality, whilst maintaining efficiency and a positive working culture. We can also help you to capitalise on new business opportunities, collaborate with partners, navigate the demands of a merger, or define your company vision and core values.
