Why is it so hard to build big energy projects? That's the question Ed Crooks put to Bechtel President and COO Craig Albert on a recent episode of Wood Mackenzie's Energy Gang podcast. Drawing on Bechtel's 128 years of delivering some of the world's largest and most complex projects, Craig shared what it takes to turn ambitious plans into successful outcomes — from integrating engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) from day one to embracing digital innovation and investing in the skilled craft professionals who make every milestone possible. One insight stood out: successful projects don't begin when construction starts. They're set up for success long before the first shovel hits the ground through early planning, disciplined execution, and teams that work together from the very beginning. If you're interested in what it takes to deliver the next generation of energy infrastructure, it's a conversation worth listening to. Listen here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gergqVEv
