14,000 Bechtel colleagues, 50 offices and projects, 11 countries. That's what Monday looked like when thousands of our #Bechtel colleagues stood shoulder to shoulder to reaffirm our commitment to preventing suicides in the construction industry. This week, Bechtel joined the construction industry as a proud sponsor in recognizing #ConstructionSuicidePreventionWeek, an important time to raise awareness about mental health and the devastating rates of suicide in our field. At our Reston, Virginia HQ, #Bechtel chairman and CEO Brendan Bechtel reflected: "I can't think of a more pressing problem confronting our industry, and at Bechtel, we're committed to finding solutions. You saw the first step earlier this year when we announced our five-year partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Together, we are going to provide critical suicide prevention resources to people in our industry. We owe it to them, to our colleagues, and to their families to do something about this."#Bechtel president and COO Craig Albert echoed this sentiment: "I can't emphasize enough the importance of us taking this on. We have to apply to mental health and suicide prevention the same kind of rigor and conviction that we apply to physical safety." All of us have a role to play and Monday's stand-down was a reminder that a true culture shift is necessary for progress to occur—and we're on our way here at Bechtel. We can encourage openness and have candid discussions about mental health to eliminate stigma. We can learn to recognize the signs of someone at risk. And we can offer support to those struggling by connecting them to resources that can help. As Brendan shared: "An industry-wide problem demands industry-wide solutions. No one can do this alone, so we're asking other companies to join in our fight." Learn how: https://lnkd.in/gY8ikWhb
☀️ Bringing clean, renewable energy to Calhoun County, Michigan! 🎉 Hecate Energy LLC has selected our #Bechtel team to deliver Sunfish Solar 2, the first project in Hecate’s 1-gigawatt renewable energy development. The Sunfish Solar 2 facility will generate 360 megawatts of clean energy—enough to power 183,500 Michigan homes, and the development will offset nearly 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s the equivalent of removing more than 300,000 passenger vehicles from the road each year. 🌱🚗 “We are proud to support Michigan’s renewable energy goals with this milestone project, and to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future, while also creating high-quality clean energy jobs,” said Scott Austin, Bechtel’s General Manager of Renewables & Clean Power. This new facility, which will be one of the largest solar facilities in the state, plays a key role in supporting Michigan’s goal of producing 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and creating over 350 local construction jobs. 🏗️ And to bring this project to life, Bechtel will utilize its award-winning digital delivery approach to design, construct, and commission the facility, leveraging autonomous technologies to enhance project delivery! This week, while 40,000 energy professionals gather at the #REPlus24 conference in Anaheim, California, we are reminded of the importance of, and Bechtel's commitment to, advancing clean energy and creating sustainable solutions for future generations.

Could you lead a megaproject? Hear from the masters Three leaders of successful megaprojects delve into the nitty gritty of what it takes to lead them in the latest episode of the 21CC podcast for The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). On the panel are: • Jacob Mumm, head of Bechtel Corporation's global Public Infrastructure division, whose projects include the Keeyask hydropower project in northern Canada, and the new metro system for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; • Davendra Dabasia, CEO of Mace Consult, whose portfolio includes the 2012 London Olympics, the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, and Toronto’s ongoing, multi-billion-dollar subway extension; • Ambrose McGuire, AECOM’s Europe Programme Management Lead, who helped deliver many billions worth of infrastructure in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and who has been programme director of the joint venture delivering the twin-tunnel Lower Thames Crossing in London, UK. Listen here:https://lnkd.in/eNuN5HxRIn this frank and pacey discussion full of examples from their own experience, the panellists explore: • What behaviour they’d nominate as the most helpful in getting megaprojects over the line; • What a winning culture in the leadership team looks like, and how to foster it; How to cascade that culture all down through the megaproject’s total organisation; • How to manage stress in the full glare of public and political attention. Megaprojects have a reputation for overruns and delays but, as the panel finds, success is achievable with the correct mindset, preparation, and diligent practice. With megaprojects increasing in number and scale around the world, this discussion will help anyone who aspires to take part in what Jacob Mumm believes are among “the last great human endeavours”.#megaprojects #gigaprojects #projectmanagement #constructionpodcasts
