Richard Burt has been appointed as a consulting faculty member in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, to assist with CRGP research, educational and networking activities.

Earlier in 2006, Mr. Burt retired from his position as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Bechtel Group Inc, where he was also a member of the Board of Directors. Prior to this, he held similar responsibilities at ABB in Europe.

Since leaving Bechtel, Mr. Burt has been serving as a CRGP visiting scholar. His contributions and leadership have far exceeded those expected of someone in a visiting scholar position. In recognition of his outstanding ongoing contributions to CRGP research, Mr. Burt Rick was appointed as Consulting Professor in CRGP, effective December 2006.

Mr. Burt brings strong industry experience and a broad and deep business perspective on global infrastructure development projects to the activities of the CRGP program. He is a welcome addition to the CRGP faculty team!
