Capabilities
Practical engineering leadership, built for real projects
Cranston Engineering combines hands-on project delivery experience with structured training and coaching to raise capability across your organisation.
Hybrid Agile
The best of Traditional and Agile, tailored to your project
Every project carries a different mix of certainty and change. We design a hybrid methodology that combines Waterfall rigour with Agile responsiveness, so your delivery model fits the work rather than the other way around.
- Retains formal governance, gated stage reviews, and risk management where they matter most
- Introduces appropriate Agile techniques including cloud based KANBAN to help distributed teams focus on what matters most
- Reduces rework by aligning delivery cadence with actual project uncertainty
- Improves stakeholder visibility through transparent, frequent reporting cycles
Where Hybrid Agile delivers results
We've applied this approach across a wide range of business scopes, from deepwater hook up projects to day-to-day plant maintenance.

Leadership & Founder
Peter Cranston
Founder, Cranston Engineering Ltd
Peter founded Cranston Engineering to bridge the gap between traditional project management theory and the realities of delivering capital projects on live offshore and onshore assets. As a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the IMechE, he has spent 40 years leading and coaching project delivery teams across the oil & gas and process industries.
That experience underpins every course, coaching engagement, and hybrid methodology Cranston Engineering delivers today — grounded in what actually works on site, not just in theory.
As of November 2025, Peter has stepped back from daily hands-on project support to focus on writing his third book, “Collaboration Dawn”, which explores how we can work together more effectively. Cranston Engineering will continue delivering its listed services through trusted associates.
