Dear Industry Colleagues and Partners,

Project Controls has evolved from 5 distinct career paths at GPC to a streamlined 4. However, as per AACEI, there are now 6 key career paths, and I consider Document Control as the 7th essential role:
1. Planning and Scheduling: Involves developing and managing project schedules, tracking progress, and ensuring timely project delivery.
2. Cost Management: Focuses on estimating, budgeting, and controlling project costs to adhere to financial constraints.
3. Forensic Analysis: Entails investigating delays and disputes by analyzing project documentation to ascertain causes and impacts.
4. Project Controls: Provides comprehensive oversight by integrating cost, time, and risk management to ensure project objectives are met.
5. Contract Administration: Manages the preparation, negotiation, and execution of contracts, ensuring compliance and handling contractual changes and disputes.
6. Risk Management: Identifies, assesses, and mitigates risks to minimize potential negative impacts on project outcomes.
7. Document Control: Oversees the management and organization of project documentation to ensure accuracy, accessibility, and compliance with regulatory and organizational standards.
These evolving career paths reflect the increasing complexity and specialization in project management. With the dawn of AI, I believe incorporating these roles can offer greater job flexibility and expanded responsibilities, aligning with best and proven practices. For tailored advice on navigating these career paths, consult Engr. George Nwogu.
