Department of Energy contractor Bechtel National plans to open a new office in Knoxville, Tenn., next week for engineers and other staff, the company announced this month.
The new Engineering Executive Center was set to open Oct. 2 in the Cedar Bluff neighborhood in Knoxville, Bechtel said in a press release. The company said it will use the new location to help recruit new engineers.
Bechtel, based in Reston, Va., will keep its existing U.S. offices, including the one in nearby Oak Ridge Tenn., serving the Oak Ridge Site.
The decision to open the new office was an easy one, John Howanitz, president of Bechtel’s nuclear, security, and environmental business, said in the press release. “We have partnered with customers across the state to build nuclear power plants, advance the Y-12 National Security mission, and support the nation’s top aeronautical design research at Arnold Air Force Base,” he said.
