Bechtel today recognized Stewardship Month activities in the U.S. by congratulating projects and employees at the company’s affiliated government projects that raised more than $9 million in 2014 and volunteered countless hours for those in need in their surrounding communities.
“These contributions and volunteer efforts are a testament to the integrity, community spirit, and dedication of these employees and project leadership,” said Craig Albert, president of Bechtel’s Nuclear, Security and Environmental business unit. “They reflect our teams’ commitment to be strong and dependable community partners at all of our project locations.”
Examples at sites managed and operated by Bechtel with university and industry teammates include:
The Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant and its employees donated funds and volunteer hours to local charities and organizations in southeastern Washington, including Toys for Tots, United Way, March of Dimes, and various educational institutions.
