Project Engineering Services

Project Engineers like Joel Kohler "make things happen" inside the project. They connect and integrate activities across engineering disciplines, and they drive the completion of design products and work packages.

The Project Engineers also take responsibility for planning, executing, and controlling key portions of the project plan.

Rely on Joel Kohler, a project engineer who has proven experience running day-to-day internal project operations, serving as a team leader, and more.

Joel Kohler is also an accomplished assistant project manager. In this role, Joel increases the overall effectiveness of the Project Manager (PM). With an able assistant, the PM finally has valuable time to concentrate on project and stakeholder concerns, rather than all the project details.

With the rising prevalence of EPCM-type contracts, it is important for an owner to place its own representative on the engineering floor. From experience, Joel Kohler understands that in EPCM contracts the risk to owners is substantial. Because owners advance funds to the EPCM based on the "earned value" of completed progress versus planned progress, it is the owner's money on the table. Myriad unknowns - from procurement to labor issues - all threaten the project cost and schedule.

With an experienced Project Engineer like Joel Kohler acting as your owner's representative, you can improve the transparency of the EPCM contract performance. Now the owner knows first hand what is happening on the engineering floor. Bringing in a skilled project engineer like Joel Kohler to handle essential owner oversight is money well spent.

Nuclear Power Expertise

Joel Kohler has considerable experience in the nuclear industry, which may be about to resume its growth.

Worldwide, electric utilities are rediscovering the benefits of nuclear power, while addressing the risks. Interest in nuclear power is increasing because it is a non-carbon based fuel that neither produces green house gases, nor contributes to global warming. Increasing the portion of electricity generated by nuclear power is integral to reducing dependence on foreign energy sources.

Led by commercial utilities and the Department of Energy (DOE), new nuclear plant construction in the U.S. is expected to resume after a decades-long hiatus. However, nuclear generation requires a special type of engineering expertise, and familiarity with the heavy procedural and requirements-driven infrastructure.

There is a group of seasoned nuclear power engineers in the U.S. that entered the commercial nuclear power industry in the 1970s, cut their teeth at Three Mile Island, and absorbed the lessons learned. They are resourceful and they are available to help build and transfer knowledge to next-generation nuclear power operators.

Joel Kohler is ready to lead, or assist, your project engineering in a variety of industries, including the nuclear power industry.
