PITTSBURGH, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — System One announced its acquisition of Pathfinder, LLC, an independent provider of outsourced project management consulting and training that supports capital projects across critical infrastructure, including Utilities, Energy, Mining, and Pharmaceutical. The combination enhances System One’s Critical Infrastructure capabilities spanning organizational effectiveness, project assurance, professional development, dispute resolution, and project based talent resourcing.

For over half a century, Pathfinder’s recognized practitioners—many with 25+ years of hands‑on experience—have delivered independent reviews, risk and contracting support, project controls, and best‑practice training that help owners deliver small to mega‑scale projects with cost and schedule certainty.

Together, we strengthen our ability to support owners with independent insight, specialized technical resources, and disciplined project execution,” said Greg Lignelli, System One President & COO.
