Bechtel

Bechtel is a global engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and project management company, founded in 1898 in San Francisco, California and still family-led in its fifth generation under Chairman and CEO Brendan Bechtel. The firm has completed more than 25,000 projects across 160 countries and all seven continents, delivering complex infrastructure, aviation, defence and energy programs on behalf of public and private sector clients.

Delivery is organised across five business lines: Infrastructure; Nuclear, Security & Environmental; Energy; Mining & Metals; and Manufacturing and Technology. Aviation-related work sits within the broader infrastructure portfolio, where the company provides engineering, procurement and construction delivery of large-scale programmes, supported by in-house project management capability and technical domains spanning nuclear engineering and clean energy. The company cites Hoover Dam, built during the Great Depression, as an example of the technically demanding projects in its record.

Operating practice is grounded in founding values of safety, ethics, quality and sustainability, applied to project delivery and to resilience-focused infrastructure. Through bechtel.org, its impact infrastructure arm launched in 2019, the company delivers sustainable projects in underserved communities. More detail is available at www.bechtel.com.
