Lynchburg, Va. -based BWX Technologies has promoted Richard Loving to a newly created post of senior vice president and chief administrative officer (CAO).
Loving has been senior vice president for human resources at BWXT since mid-2016.
He has about 40 years of management experience in manufacturing, energy, and government operations, according to a press release. That has been chiefly with BWXT and its predecessor companies – McDermott International and Babcock & Wilcox.
“Elevating his title to chief administrative officer acknowledges the full breadth of his responsibilities in human resources, communications, security, and environmental health & safety,” BWXT President and CEO Rex Geveden said in the press release.
Loving joined Babcock & Wilcox Co. security operations in 1979, and held several management positions during his career there before joining McDermott International in 2010. That is the year Babcock was spun off from McDermott. At McDermott, Loving was senior human resources positions in the Middle East and internationally.
BWXT is a minority partner in several DOE Office of Environmental Management contracts, including the cleanup contract for the Portsmouth Site in Ohio as well as the operation of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.
