Project Management: Managing

Specialist

Electrical Projects
Course overview
Effective project management is essential to deliver
electrical projects on time, on budget and to
specification. This course is designed to equip you with
the understanding, tools and techniques you need to
manage a range of electrical projects.
You will be introduced to the principles of project
management through a selection of case study
examples ranging from small HV/LV projects to larger
132/33/11kV and 400/275kV projects to reinforce the
main learning points.
Central to the course is a full scale project management
exercise in which you will create and deliver an electrical
engineering project in a Distribution Network Operator
(DNO) company. This will give you the opportunity to
devise and develop project management strategies and
test them out in a ‘risk free’ environment, discussing
your issues and experiences with other delegates and
the course speakers.
Cost: Two-day course: £935 + VAT
Location: EA Technology, Capenhurst, Chester, CH1 6ES
