Fundamental to the success of any infrastructure project is having personnel with the right mix of knowledge, skills and experience for the specific project.
While this expertise may be found within the delivering organization or from staff seconded from other departments or agencies, external specialist skills will be required for the project. Specialist skills required for the project-including financial, legal, technical, community relations and environmental-will vary with the type of project. The use of external specialists will primarily depend on the availability of internal staff with the required skills sets, and the complexity and scope of the project.
