US Bechtel names Saudi national as country manager in Saudi Arabia

18/06/2017 Argaam

US contractor Bechtel Corporation said on Sunday that it has appointed Abdulrahman Al-Ghabban as its country manager in Saudi Arabia.

 

“Al-Ghabban, being the first Saudi national to hold this position for the company, reaffirms Bechtel’s commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia reach its 2030 vision through the appointment of local nationals for critical positions at the company’s various projects in the Kingdom,” the company said in a statement on Sunday.

 

The new country manger joined Bechtel in 2013 as business development manager for the Power business unit, before he was appointed as deputy country manager for Saudi Arabia in 2015, the statement added.

 

The appointment comes at a time when the Kingdom is requiring local and international companies to abide by Saudization policies, which involves the replacement of foreign workers with Saudi nationals in the private sector.
