Project Management Mentoring Programme
The Project Management Mentoring Programme brings together mentors and mentees from Cross Sector/Nuclear & Oil & Gas operators, tier one contractors and the wider supply chain. Over an eight-month period, senior industry mentors are paired with developing project managers to share knowledge and experience.
Coordinated by the Project Management Steering Group (PMSG) and the ECITB, the programme is an excellent example of how industry cooperation works for the benefit of the sector as a whole. The PMSG comprise of senior industry practitioners collaborating together to provide experiential development and guidance across all sectors within the engineering, design and procurement community in sectors such as power, water, nuclear, pharmaceutical & chemical, renewables, oil & gas and food & drink.

The Active Cup
The ACTIVE Cup is a project management competition for the engineering construction industry. Run by Cranfield University on behalf of the ECITB and European Construction Institute, this hugely popular competition welcomes delegates from companies representing a range of sectors.
Teams taking part manage a project from concept through to completion. The competition enables teams to experience the whole project management process and tests a wide range of project management skills. The aim is for a team to make the most profit against their initial cost.
The ECITB Project collaboration Toolkit
The ECITB’s Project Collaboration Toolkit (Edition 2) supports collaborative working relationships across the engineering construction sector. The toolkit offers advice and guidance to companies looking to work together more efficiently. The toolkit shares industry best practice and guides clients and contractors on joint working. Originally designed for the offshore oil and gas sector, the toolkit has now been used on several projects where pooled resources and shared skills and expertise have improved efficiency and kept costs down.
