ABOUT - Consultants With Energy LLC™
WHO WE ARE
Consultants With Energy ™ is a leading energy consulting & technical services company for heavy industrial engineering firms, EPC companies, large and small industrial construction companies, public & private utilities, refineries, energy transport companies and other heavy industrial companies in the United States and across the world. We take the time to get to know our clients and their goals and recommend solutions that achieve those objectives.
EXCELLENCE DELIVERED - BY EXPERIENCE
Planning and successfully executing a major energy project in an industrial, commercial, public or government setting requires an advanced and intricate understanding of construction, engineering, technology, law, and zoning requirements. This is particularly true when considering renovations, retrofits and new construction in obsolete, aging or degraded facilities utility systems and remote locations. Working with a knowledgeable team of energy consultants is the best way to manage risk on large and “must succeed” energy or heavy industrial projects. Energy consultants like Consultants With Energy ™ provide the technical expertise and big-picture perspective you need to make informed choices on your upcoming capital project.
EXCELLENCE DELIVERED - STRUCTURED CONFIDENTIALITY
Consultants With Energy ™ respects our client’s organizational structures and unless there is a requirement contractually, every individual participating in your project employed directly or provided as part of a variable workforce which supports your organization will be held to the strictest levels of confidentiality. This can include the use of structured confidentiality agreements and/or non-disclosure agreements. This is important as it allows our clients to manage the political and stakeholder interfaces, media, rumors, and other concerns. You know your audience and their perceptions which affect your decisions and the morale of your staff. This reality, real or perceived exists prior to our engagement. These stakeholders and other entities will exist long after our staff has demobilized. Our work will be an area with which the client can point to as an example of excellence which will stand on its own. You can focus on perception management and we execute the project in accordance with proven best practices, procedures, and guidelines that will provide the participants, stakeholders, shareholders, management and every employee to participate in a successful project that they can be proud of. If needed, as an independent firm that is led by some of the sector's most award-winning professionals, companies with dissatisfied customers or troubled projects & companies can leverage Consultants With Energy ™. By implementing an ownership strategy that hires a non-biased entity to execute, or oversee the execution of a project can significantly remove doubt, suspicion, and resistance from stakeholders. Sometimes the best decision is to delegate and oversee rather than self-perform projects when experience is minimal or risking negative trust from the stakeholders if self-performing the project not meet the expected results. Where trust has been severely breached or degraded, Consultants With Energy ™, with authorization, can assist our clients with managing expectations, perceptions, schedules and scope of work delivered in a way that can minimize negative perceptions.
EXCELLENCE DELIVERED - THROUGH VALUE & CAPABILITY
More than simply offering consultants and recommendations, Consultants With Energy ™ has the capability to provide the front line boots on the ground to implement our solutions or provide the team to implement your project execution plans. From providing subject matter experts in a wide variety of disciplines to administrative support, we can provide your project team with appropriate levels of support targeted to save money while still having access needed skill-sets to meet your schedule. Need more than a little help?

Our experts can mentor your personnel or integrate your staff into our team and learn from our industry-leading, award-winning project experts during your next project and with the lessons learned to build internal corporate capacity to execute future projects with reduced support from us or self-perform the project in total.
