Bechtel Announces Lucy Martin as President of its Mining and Metals Business

Bechtel appoints 24-year veteran Lucy Martin as President of its Mining and Metals business to drive global operational performance and strategic growth.

Bechtel, an engineering, construction, and project management firm partnering with industry and government, recently named Lucy Martin as president of its Metals and Mining (M&M) business. She would succeed Allie MacAdam in the role effective April 6, owing to her predecessor’s 41-year tenure with the company coming to an end with her retirement in May. Martin has been employed with Bechtel for 24 years, contributing significantly to the company’s growth by strengthening performance, meeting customers’ expectations, and delivering the desired results across global markets.

She has held four leadership roles at Bechtel. As General Manager, South America, she led the mining business in that region. In Operations Manager, Americas, she was responsible for operational performance and risk management. As Chief Financial Officer, M&M, she oversaw commercial strategy, financial forecasts, and portfolio performance. As General Manager, Asia Pacific, she improved growth, expanded iron ore offerings, opened the Perth office, and established the Centre of Excellence for bulk material, while also strengthening customer relationships in Asia.

Moreover, Craig Albert, Bechtel President and COO, noted Martin’s proven leadership credentials backed by a strategic vision and in-depth knowledge of deep mining as making her the ideal candidate for the role. According to Martin, “My focus is to build on that foundation while sharpening how we support our customers in a rapidly evolving global market. We will continue to enhance how we deliver — helping customers solve their most complex challenges, from cost-effective development and productivity to safety, reliability, and certainty of outcomes.” CIO Bulletin views Martin’s appointment as enabling Bechtel to advance major projects and improve its financial performance in continuation of her predecessor’s legacy.
