His clients value his independence, experience, and ability to bring calm order to complex challenges.
Richard Reeves is a Chartered Civil Engineer and senior project executive with over 30 years’ experience leading major infrastructure and built-environment programmes across the UK and internationally. He has delivered some of the most challenging projects in defence, nuclear, rail, water, and complex construction — consistently achieving outcomes to quality, time, and budget.
From managing the £126m Oshogbo-Ede Water Supply Scheme in Nigeria — the largest of its kind in Africa — to restoring stakeholder confidence at the Orion laser research facility for the Ministry of Defence, Richard has built a reputation for tackling complexity with discipline, clarity, and calm authority. He has negotiated multi-million-pound contracts, resolved critical programme risks, and re-established robust project controls on schemes ranging from nuclear submarine facilities at Faslane to high-speed rail signalling on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.
Throughout his career, Richard has been trusted to step into high-stakes situations, diagnose the real issues, and lead programmes back to stability and control.
His strengths include:
Project controls & risk management — establishing earned value systems and recovering failing schedules.
Stakeholder alignment — building clarity and confidence across client teams, contractors, and regulators.
Outcome-focused delivery — safeguarding milestones, reputation, and long-term programme success.
An Approach Built on Values
Richard believes successful project leadership is about more than processes — it is about clarity, integrity, and accountability. He works closely with clients to understand their objectives, challenge assumptions where necessary, and establish practical, disciplined pathways to delivery.
His guiding philosophy is simple: projects succeed when people trust both the process and the leadership behind it.
Today
Through Reeves Project Management, Richard provides independant programme leadership and assurance for complex infrastructure and construction initiatives.
