Stephen Bechtel Jr., the third-generation heir of the Bechtel Corp. construction empire who led its global drive for 30 years and provided President Reagan with key Cabinet members, has died at his home in San Francisco.
The company said Bechtel died Monday at 95. No cause of death was given.
The Stanford-educated engineer became a billionaire while leading the San Francisco-based firm’s expansion through “mega-projects” in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Canada.
At 35, he took over as president from his father in 1960 and oversaw contracts for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in north San Diego County, the Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia and the James Bay hydroelectric project in Canada. In less than two decades, he doubled the company’s size, according to its website.
Sadara Chemical Company recently received the first batch of students as part of its internship program for 2021. Twenty student interns joined the company, 11 of them diploma holders and 9 with bachelor’s degrees. Students were brought onboard from three different educational institutions, namely: Jubail Technical Institute, Jubail University College and King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals.
Sadara’s vice president of industrial relations Farhan Al-Qahtani said: “Our team works diligently to achieve the company’s objectives for our social responsibility and human resources strategy and focuses on developing and qualifying national manpower to fulfil the Saudi market’s requirements as well as the company’s continuing demand for new employees, whether on a technical or administrative level, in alignment with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.”
