In their new roles, Marsden and MacAdam will lead OG&C’s and M&M’s worldwide operations with responsibility for all aspects of the business units’ performance and their results for customers.
“With their focus on collaboration, quality, and creating lasting value, Paul and Ailie have proven themselves as trusted partners to our customers. Their leadership will ensure we are ready to help customers succeed as they work to solve the evolving energy and resources challenges that are shaping the future,” said Bechtel President and CEO, Craig Albert.
“I am proud and excited that Paul and Ailie are stepping up to lead these key parts of our business. I am also personally grateful to Alasdair and Paige for their decades of service to our company,” said Bechtel Chairman, Brendan Bechtel.
Paul Marsden’s experience includes serving in senior customer-facing leadership roles on several landmark projects for OG&C. Since 2018, he has been senior project manager for the Pennsylvania Chemicals Project, a world-class petrochemicals facility under construction near Pittsburgh. Earlier, he served for three years as senior project manager for the Wheatstone LNG project in Australia, and prior to that was senior project manager on the landmark Queensland Curtis LNG project in Australia.

MacAdam’s experience includes managing some of the most complex mega-projects in the company’s history. As project director for Crossrail, she oversaw the largest civil infrastructure project in Europe. She also served as project director for High Speed 1, the UK’s first high-speed rail line.
