"I am especially honored and humbled by this election just a few weeks after we celebrated my grandfather's 75 years of continuous service to Bechtel. Representing the fifth-generation of family leadership at this remarkable company is a unique responsibility," said Brendan. "I look forward to continuing the family's legacy started by my great-great-grandfather in 1898, and most importantly, working with our strong team of committed and capable leaders to guide Bechtel into the future," he added.

Jack Futcher, a 36-year veteran of the company who currently serves as president of the OG&C global business unit, the company's largest, will become president & COO. As president of OG&C, Futcher helped diversify the business and led it to unprecedented growth in the LNG sector. During his Bechtel career, Futcher also served as global manager of procurement, as a project manager on energy megaprojects, as president of the Power business, and as executive sponsor for the Mining & Metals business. Futcher was elected to the company's board of directors in 2010 and will remain a member of the board.

"Bill has been a dynamic leader for our company as CEO and previously as president & COO, where he was pivotal to Bechtel achieving a decade of extraordinary growth. I look forward to his continued contributions to the company as vice-chairman. Further, Jack and Brendan are the right team to provide strong leadership in support of the very capable team they have developed as we approach a period of volatility in our markets," said Riley Bechtel. He concluded, "Today, I am both a proud father and confident chairman with Brendan coming in as CEO. He is highly qualified to become, and will be superb as, the next CEO."
