Vanguard Controls Group was founded by Joshua Ferguson, a master scheduler with roots in the trades. Before managing complex project schedules for major energy clients including TC Energy, he worked as a union pipefitter and weld inspector — giving him a perspective that pure office schedulers simply don't have.
That field experience is what sets Vanguard apart. When we review a schedule or track field progress, we understand what's actually happening on the ground. We don't just read drawings — we've done the work.
