In Episode 73 this week, The 966 features an exclusive conversation with Jacob Mumm, Managing Director for Bechtel Saudi Arabia. Bechtel's role in over 300 major projects throughout 80 years in Saudi Arabia, including the world's largest single industrial development project at Jubail, the ambitious Riyadh Metro project, "The Spine" at Neom, Ras Al Khair, oil and gas facilities, major airports, and many more, make it a major part of the story of modern Saudi Arabia. Bechtel was also recently chosen for a project management role in the building of Trojena, an alpine-themed resort area within Neom. The hosts also ask Jake about the engineering marvel that is the late Zaha Hadid-designed metro station at KAFD, the increasing number of Saudi women working for Bechtel, and the importance of developing local talent in the Kingdom.
