Your expertise. Our programs.
Join the KonradBeck associate bench and our engagement leads can bring you onto controls work across all 22 markets. We look for independent schedulers, cost engineers, estimators and risk analysts who build numbers that hold up, and we help emerging practitioners grow.
Sound method matters more than size.
- A1
Real scheduling depth
Hands-on Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project work: logic, constraints, calendars, resource loading and updates against a data date. We read your schedules, not just your résumé.
- A2
Cost discipline
Estimates with a basis you can trace, forecasts that tie to commitments and actuals, and an EAC you can walk an owner through line by line.
- A3
Clean, defensible files
Narratives that explain what moved and why, backup that an auditor can follow, and change logs that match the record.
- A4
Professional footing
Your own business entity or a clear independent status, professional liability coverage where the engagement calls for it, and availability you can commit to.
- A5
Judgment under pressure
The nerve to tell a client the critical path has moved, float is eroding or the P80 date is not the date on the banner. Early, and in writing.
How the bench works.
Four steps from first contact to your first engagement. A senior controls lead reviews every application.
Send the application below with your disciplines, tools, availability and the size of programs you typically support. It takes about ten minutes.
We follow up with a short packet: résumé, two or three references, and a redacted sample such as a schedule narrative, estimate summary or risk register.
A KonradBeck controls lead talks through your sample with you. If something is missing, we tell you what and why.
Once approved, you are visible to our engagement leads, who invite you onto programs that fit your discipline, market and availability.
What partners can expect from us.
The same commitments on every engagement, in every market, whatever the size of your firm.
- Terms
- Clear terms, agreed up frontDay rates or fixed fees, invoicing cadence and payment terms are set in your associate agreement before the engagement starts. Approved invoices are paid on that schedule, every month.
- Standards
- One method on every programShared scheduling standards, cost coding, QA checks and report templates, so every deliverable that carries our name holds up to scrutiny.
- Communication
- Straight answers, earlyA named KonradBeck lead, a standing weekly check-in and honest feedback on the work, good or bad, while there is still time to act on it.
- Growth
- Mentoring for emerging firmsThrough the Rising Controls Professionals program, emerging firms and early-career schedulers get help with methods, tools, proposals and back-office systems.

partnership@konradbeck.comAssociate questions.
How long does the review take?
It depends mostly on how quickly the packet comes back complete. We review applications as they arrive and call you if anything is missing.
Do I need a professional certification?
Not to apply. Credentials such as PMP, PSP or CCP help, but we judge the work itself. If you are early in your career, Rising Controls Professionals can help you build toward them.
When and how will I be paid?
Rates and payment terms are written into your associate agreement before the engagement starts, including the invoicing cadence. You will know the terms before you sign.
Does joining the bench guarantee work?
No. It makes you eligible to be brought onto engagements. Assignments are based on discipline, market, availability, client requirements and fit for each program.
Can I update my information later?
Yes. Email partnership@konradbeck.com when your availability, disciplines, tools or contact details change and we will update your profile.
