Irving, Texas-based nuclear fuel company Fluor said Monday Bob Card, former Under Secretary of Energy and most recent CEO of Canadian project management company SNC-Lavin, will join Fluor’s Board of Directors.
Card was selected March 4, and his appointment brings the number of board members to 12, Fluor’s press release said.
While Card’s most recent position was CEO of a project management company, he served as Under Secretary of Energy from 2001 to 2004 under President George W. Bush. He oversaw national programs in energy, science, environment and waste management, the release said, and managed the decommissioning of Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons plant. His national honors include the Energy Secretary’s Gold Award.
Card has also served on other industry boards, including for Westinghouse Electric, AECOM and Longnecker & Associates. He reportedly led Oregon-based engineering firm CH2M, which was acquired in 2017 by Jacobs Engineering Group, in its Nuclear division.
“Bob Card’s extensive leadership across the engineering, construction and project development landscape, combined with his significant public‑sector experience, brings valuable insight to Fluor as we continue executing our strategy for long‑term growth,” David Constable, Executive Chairman of Fluor, said in the release.
Fluor is the lead partner in Savannah River Site prime joint-venture Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. In its earnings call in February, the CEO said the company will be closely following the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) solicitations at the Savannah River Site.
