Bechtel has launched a major new graduate recruitment program with the Riyadh College of Technology (RCT) in Saudi Arabia.
Under the joint initiative, the global leader in engineering, procurement and construction will train and subsequently hire 75 RCT students who are pursuing careers in civil engineering, architecture, or survey technology.
The first group of students will start the three-month training programme in March 2017, including a stint of work experience at a Bechtel project in Saudi Arabia.
Bechtels partnership with the Riyadh College of Technology shows our commitment to the community and to improving workers skills in Saudi Arabia, said Abdulrahman Al-Ghabban, Bechtels Deputy Country Manager. Together we are creating better career opportunities, quality infrastructure and economic growth.
US-based Bechtel has worked in Saudi Arabia for more than 70 years developing megaprojects from large oil and gas facilities to airports and other critical infrastructure.
The company is currently working on lines 1 and 2 of the six-line Riyadh Metro and providing program management services at Jubail Industrial City, the largest civil engineering project in the world.
