MT. LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--United Engineers & Constructors, Inc. (United) Chief Executive Officer Scott Reeder announced his retirement, effective June 28, 2024, after more than 46 years of service. He will continue to support the company as a Board member.
Mr. Reeder began his career at Catalytic, a United legacy company, after graduating from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. During his career, Mr. Reeder served in a number of project leadership and senior management roles executing complex projects across North America and internationally. Prior to his appointment to corporate leadership, he led programs and projects ranging from turnkey engineering, construction, and commissioning to operating support of large nuclear facilities and the design and construction of nuclear processing facilities. His experience also includes environmental compliance projects for coal-fired power plants and fleet-wide maintenance and outage services support programs. Many of those projects were recognized for outstanding value and industry-leading results. His teams earned international recognition for innovation, industry leadership in industrial safety, and achieving exceptional value through teaming.
After becoming CEO in 2020, Mr. Reeder successfully piloted the company through a transition of ownership during the global pandemic. He also advanced the company’s brand, returning it to United Engineers & Constructors, a company from its nearly 120-year legacy.
“I am humbled by the experience of leading United Engineers & Constructors over the past four and a half years,” said Mr. Reeder. “It has truly been an honor to lead the company and work alongside the talented and dedicated members of our team.
