In a move designed to capitalize on its growing market opportunities,
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) today announced that Alan
Boeckmann has been appointed president and chief operating officer,
effective February 1, 2001.
Boeckmann, who currently serves as president and chief executive officer
of Fluor Daniel, one of Fluor's primary business enterprises, will be
responsible for all business operations of the corporation, as well as
finance, human resources and communications.
Philip
J. Carroll Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, will retain
overall responsibility and accountability for the corporation. Details
concerning related management and organizational realignment activities
at Fluor will be announced as they occur.
"Mr. Boeckmann was chosen for this new post because of his in-depth
knowledge of the industries in which we operate and his long and
distinguished track record of success," said Carroll. "This appointment
is part of a logical progression in the development of the 'new' Fluor."
With the reverse spin of Massey Coal successfully completed last month,
Carroll said the company focus must now be on establishing predominance
in its global markets.

single leadership position, the company will be able to more quickly
assess market and customer opportunities and deliver services in the
most optimal and cost-effective manner possible," Carroll added.

technical execution of engineering and construction projects for a
variety of industrial and commercial applications, including 25 years at
Fluor.
