Richard Palczynski, Director of Programme Controls at Crossrail

Richard joined Crossrail in June 2015 as director of programme controls. In his role he is accountable for ensuring visibility and accuracy of programme performance data, and providing the executive leadership with the information they need in order to manage the programme and maintain their focus in the right areas.

His move to Crossrail is a return to hands-on programme management after having spent the previous six years in the corporate world helping to run, grow and evolve companies such as Parsons Brinckerhoff, Balfour Beatty and most recently, Mace, where he was the director of programme management for their major programmes and infrastructure division.

Throughout his career, Richard has collected a broad range of major programme experience across infrastructure projects such as the Fyled Coast waste water programme, Jubilee Line extension, Channel Tunnel rail link, West Coast route modernisation programme and now Crossrail.

With employers such as Bechtel, PB, Balfours and Mace, he has a portfolio of different roles under his belt from design and construction management, commercial and project management to six sigma and project controls to name a few.

In 2012 he was awarded his Fellowship with the Institution of Civil Engineers. He’s a Supervising Civil Engineer, very keen skier, loves triathlon, cycling and running.

Richard will be speaking at APM Conference in April this year.
