Position Summary
Jubail is one of Bechtel 's most remarkable achievements--a city built from
the sand up, requiring vast resources and logistical planning on an
unprecedented scale. It the biggest civil engineering project in modern times
--and it's getting bigger. Bechtel has managed the Jubail project, located in
the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, since it began in the mid-1970s. Saudi
Arabian Bechtel Company (SABCO) serves as the Management Services Contractor

work being performed by local contractors and sub-contractors in Jubail and
Ras-Al-Khair Industrial Cities. In June 2021, Bechtel's contract with the
Royal Commission was renewed for another 5 years with work focusing on
building new residential communities, iconic buildings/ bridges, major site
preparation, commercial buildings, mosques, schools, hospitals, sports
facilities, clinics, universities, utility services and infrastructure
(electrical sub-stations, lift stations), roads and highways, port & pipeline
expansions, and more.
