Peer Assist

During periods of heightened vulnerability, our experts can augment your project team.

Situation Resolving gives you the necessary input to make an informed decision, whether that requires support from base camp, or boots on the ground. A key benefit is that you only bring on the extra resources when needed.

Peer Assist means our people work side by side with yours. It’s distinct from a Project Rescue in terms of intensity and, usually, longevity. Rescue is about restoring order; Peer Assist is about giving your team more confidence around major projects or especially risk-heavy phases of work. 

Types of oversight support

Peer Assist may mean providing input to the strategic process or helping to plan a project of the kind where we need to be onsite. It may involve leadership, client liaison and ongoing project management. We may also provide engineers or other technical experts to advise on regulatory compliance. While today’s post-pandemic world presents new challenges, we still do our best to get onsite if needed. We can also provide much of our advice remotely.

“The bondholders appreciate the candour and view you guys provided. It was one of the key ingredients to getting consensus on the overall transaction.”

Ken Becker, Director, AMA Capital

"We needed knowledge and experience of a large complex project environment and leadership for our onsite technical team to get us across the finish line. Epeus stepped up to help us implement our project strategy with good discipline."

Peter Anson, Director, Projects and Sites Energy Business Unit, Valmet Technologies Oyj.

“Your expert's knowledge was outstanding, the report was professional, and his courtroom experience shone through during cross-examination. Great job.”

John Deis, Partner, Hicks Thomas LLP

“The Epeus team helped us to understand the complexities associated with a new build rig project and a new North Sea contractor startup."

Why not just hire a freelancer?

Typical assistance at this level might be assigning a commissioning manager for a plant. The person will wear your uniform and become part of your team.

While you could simply hire a contractor in these situations, we support our people throughout the engagement. You can therefore tap into our knowledge base of 200-plus projects and expert global network.

Of course, we’re not the only people who understand your world, but the talent pool is small indeed and good people are busy. You can’t count on freelancers to be available when you need them most. We have a deep bench.

We put our own reputation on the line for your project. We’re a team and we stand by our colleagues on the ground. While their assessments can save your reputation, we know we’re also being judged on the results you achieve.

To better understand what we actually do, dive into the stories below.
