Downsizing and reduction in permanent engineering and design staff in gas transmission companies raises problems in coping with peak work loads, finding specialist expertise, and managing major projects. The solution being adopted by more and more organizations to deal with these issues is to call in a consultant. Consultants can provide the personnel and expertise to carry out this work with the added benefit that once completed there would be no in-house layoffs or redundancy expenses involved. Effective use of the consultant however, demands close attention to a number of things if waste of time and money is to be avoided. The paper considers the issues involved in the key selection of, and working with, a consultant, and the key elements in the successful completion of the project. The importance of good communication and team work is stressed, and the consequences of failure are discussed in case studies.
