Services

Tier2 OTR  with our sector specific Manpower partners provide a fully scalable resource, Project and Managed service solution, tailored to the owner’s organisation.

Tier2 are the owners management team, accountable for performance management and are ideally suited towards organisations that retain a light leadership investment or operational team model, who require an effective assurance and managed service.

Our IPMT people deliver an integrated ONE team managed solution with the client team for specific managed Project functions, entire Projects scopes, or  supply chain Management Services.

Tier2 systems and processes enable the outsourcing of key management functions, providing the client leadership team with an inhouse plug and play solution, requiring only light touch monthly account overview of performance.

SOW is a significant service solution, which has either traditional been managed in-house, or provided by established engineering and consultant service organisations.

Significantly the larger engineering service and consultancy organisations have for the past 20 years grown in scale and complexity and in some cases are more overburdened with operational costs than the clients they serve.

2023 has shown that we need leaner, fit for purpose, tailored service solutions that enable clients to confidently outsource core services at lower costs, delivering genuine measurable bottom-line advantage.

Tier2 SOW service model builds upon our PEOPLE-PROCESS-SYSTEMS industry model. We have an embedded alliance with industry Manpower providers, who underpin all the resources we require., so scale is not an issue.

This combined with Tier2 PROCESS and SYSTEMS enables our close collaboration to deliver all the global resources, management processes and integrated systems to deliver performance managed SOW services.

Refer to How we work section, which sets out in greater detail how we our PEOPLE-PROCESSES-SYSTEMS through the Tier2 digital operating system IIM.

Tier2, whether engaged as the client owners team (OTR), or as the contracted scope of work (SOW) provider have through their knowledge and experience of working on major projects, applied industry recognised capital value processes and implement our latest cloud based digital management systems.

Our teams-stakeholders and supply chain are all integrated within the Tier2 operating model  PEOPLE-PROCESS-SYSTEMS. This enables all parties to be connected in real time through our global (IIM) Integrated Information Management system.

IIM has been aTier2 developed digital platform that is cloud based and is central to effective real time remote management and reporting.

Capital Value Project Stages:

We stride to encourage all clients to progress projects through a Capital Value process, to ensure compliance and assurance is gate controlled to ensure a culture of no change.

Concept development

A major project investment success depends on the early accurate evaluation of the concepts and investment options.

Tier2 members have a track record of performing stage-gate, peer, project execution and focused technical / construct-ability reviews that will provide the decision makers with information concerning the risk profile-technical-construction-cost and schedule class 1 estimates of the project options.

We will assess the HSSE, technical proposal, project delivery strategy, operations statement of requirements, contracting strategy/commercial provisions, cultural, community, environmental factors and project risk as part of a key focus areas review.

Project selection, optimisation and FEED

Project selection, optimisation and FEED is a critical stage in the project cycle. It ensures the conceptual assumptions when assessed within the overall project context are a compatible and commercial choice.

Tier2  have the experience to plan and develop the selected project investment options. We lead the project supply-chain specialists through FEED to optimise for value and define the project definition, suitable to secure robust class 2 cost and schedule estimates.

We support our clients with the stage gate project reviews to consider project risk and mitigation to support the financial decision process to approve to detail design and execution.

Project Detail Design & Procurement (Define)

Our IPMT is structured, as an integrated team and adopts industry control and interface managed systems to integrate engineering and the vendor’s supply-chain within the project.

We can from within our IPMT, or as integrated members of the client team manage the detail design stage of the project through the EPC supply chain. We will ensure the project is risk managed, engineering defined, long lead items procured, and the project meets the governing standards of technical, cost, safety, quality and environmental to meet the business investment plan.

Construction – commissioning and handover to operations (Execute to Operate)

Tier2  can support our clients, as construction managers utilising our IPMT discipline functions to manage the delivery and performance of the project through construction commissioning – start-up and handover to operations.

Our leadership team are all from an engineering, construction and operations background. We know the importance of defining commissioning, quality and the need to complete robust safety and constructability reviews, as key obligations to support an efficient, safe start up and handover to operations.
