NEOM’s TROJENA awards PMC Services Contract to Bechtel

Bechtel announced in a statement that it has been appointed as the Project Management Consultant for TROJENA, a year-round mountain destination in the NEOM region of northwest Saudi Arabia.

TROJENA is a key development that will contribute to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals of growing tourism and diversifying its economy away from hydrocarbons. In this role, Bechtel is excited to provide services including technical, commercial and construction management, for the development of TROJENA and supporting NEOM’s ambitions for sustainability.

TROJENA is 50km from the Gulf of Aqaba coast in the heart of NEOM’s mountainous region, spanning over 1,400 square kilometers, with elevations ranging from 1,500m to 2,600m. Fifty-seven square kilometers will be dedicated to the main development, which will benefit from the unique mountain climate in the region, where temperatures drop below zero in the winter. Such conditions will allow TROJENA to offer the Gulf’s first outdoor ski experience and host the 2029 Asian Winter Games after submitting the winning bid.

“NEOM is without question the most ambitious project in living memory, and we are proud to expand our role to support the TROJENA project,” said Jake Mumm, Bechtel’s regional managing director for Infrastructure. “From a construction perspective, NEOM offers once-in-a-lifetime career opportunities
