Bechtel executive Kim Cassara is joining Los Alamos National Laboratory as its associate director for Project Management starting Oct. 1, LANL Director Charlie McMillan said in a message to employees earlier this month. Cassara replaces Matt Nuckols, who left Los Alamos earlier this month to work on the Uranium Processing Facility at Y-12. Cassara most recently served as the vice president for Projects, Design, and Construction Services for Savannah River Remediation, LLC. Bechtel is part of the URS-led liquid waste contractor. McMillan said Cassara’s “excellent track record managing high-profile projects, and more than 30 years of experience in the DOE complex, make her uniquely qualified to handle large construction and site projects at Los Alamos, and the complex nature of our expansive and aging infrastructure.”
