As project controls manager, my main responsibilities are to make sure that the project stays on schedule and on budget while managing the risks. I support the project manager by providing data-driven scenarios. I also help maintain a strong relationship with the customer and our joint-venture partner.
The Tengiz job site is a very difficult location, owing to its extreme remoteness and severe climate, with temperatures plummeting to minus 50 degrees Celsius in winter and plus 45 degrees in summer. A big challenge is to retain a high level of motivation within the team, and constantly achieve the satisfaction levels of a very demanding customer.
From the perspective of challenges and stretched goals, Tengiz has been, by far, my best assignment.
