Every day, somewhere in the world, a billion-dollar project is underway — reshaping skylines, powering nations, and pushing the limits of what’s possible. But behind every megaproject are the people who plan, measure, and keep it all on track.
Hosted by Orion Matthews, founder of Queryon, The Major Project Podcast dives into the world of Project Controls — the art and science of delivering the biggest projects on earth. From energy and infrastructure to tech and space, we talk to the leaders managing billions in scope, risk, and ambition.
Join us as we uncover the lessons, failures, and innovations that define how major projects actually get built — and how data, risk, and human judgment come together when the stakes couldn’t be higher.
