Fractional Project Management for Engineering Delivery
Hands-on fractional project management for engineering organisations delivering capex, NPI, R&D, and operational projects.
Engineering PMO
Fractional Project Management for Engineering Delivery
Senior, hands-on project leadership — without the commitment of hiring full‑time project managers.
Designed for engineering organisations that need immediate delivery capacity, structure, and control on critical projects.
When fractional PM makes sense
When projects need leadership — not just oversight
Many engineering organisations reach a point where projects are too complex, too critical, or too numerous to be managed informally — but not yet at the scale that justifies permanent project management headcount.
Fractional project management fills this gap by providing experienced delivery leadership exactly where and when it’s needed.
- Key projects lack a dedicated owner and delivery rhythm
- Senior engineers are pulled into coordination and firefighting
- Projects are slipping but don’t yet justify a full-time PM hire
- Delivery risk is increasing without clear escalation or control
- Failing projects need rapid stabilisation and recovery
What fractional really means
What “fractional” actually looks like in practice
Fractional project management is not advisory support or occasional check-ins. It is hands-on delivery leadership, embedded into your organisation on a predictable, agreed cadence.
- Dedicated support typically 1–3 days per week
- Clear ownership of scope, schedule, cost, and risk
- Direct coordination with engineers, contractors, and vendors
- Structured reporting aligned to your governance model
The engagement scales up or down as project needs change — without long-term commitments or recruitment risk.
Project Types
Project types supported
Fractional project management is particularly effective for engineering-led initiatives where technical complexity and delivery risk must be actively managed.
Capital Projects (Capex)
Equipment installs, facility upgrades, process changes, and infrastructure improvements with cost, schedule, and safety risk.
New Product Introduction (NPI)
Cross-functional coordination between engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and suppliers to meet launch commitments.
Research & Development (R&D)
Structured delivery of development programmes without stifling technical exploration or innovation.
Operational & Improvement Projects
Efficiency, reliability, and compliance initiatives that compete for limited engineering capacity.
