Culture

It takes a special kind of company and a special kind of work environment to tackle some of the biggest and toughest jobs in the world. 
“On the Croatian Motorway, we built an incredibly complex project in a relatively short time. We worked as a team in a great multicultural environment, and most of us are still in contact."
—Sinisa G., Construction

Bechtel’s culture starts with the Bechtel family. Under four generations of family leadership, Bechtel has succeeded where others couldn’t, becoming a world leader in engineering, construction, and project management.

That strong spirit of family extends to our employees—in the way we run our company, in the way we work together, and in the way we build projects that make a difference for millions of people around the world.  

And for every project we deliver, we do it safely. In fact, Bechtel sets the bar for the construction industry, with a “zero accidents” philosophy that has been widely adopted by our partners and customers. We know that every accident is avoidable, and every employee has the authority to stop a job in the event of a safety hazard.
 
Our Vision + Values guide how Bechtel does business, and our Leadership Covenants create an environment that helps build strong working relationships. So no matter where in the world your Bechtel work takes you, you’ll feel a part of our 42,500-strong family.
