Fluor Corporation’s Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Fluor and

industry veteran Alan L. Boeckmann to the position of chairman and chief

executive officer (CEO), effective February 6, 2002. Boeckmann, 53, succeeds

current Fluor Chairman and CEO Philip J. Carroll Jr.

In making the announcement, Carroll said, "I have worked closely with Alan

during my years at Fluor, and I am pleased that the board has approved my

recommendation to appoint him to this important position. Given the company’s

strategic focus on its core capabilities in engineering, procurement,

construction and maintenance (EPC&M), the board concluded that Alan’s

extensive industry experience, thorough knowledge of Fluor’s operations and

demonstrated leadership capabilities suit him well for directing the company.

During his tenure with Fluor, Boeckmann has held management positions of

increasing responsibility, including assignments in California, Texas, South

Carolina, South Africa and Venezuela. Since February 2001, he has been

serving as president and chief operating officer of Fluor Corporation.

Previously, Boeckmann served as president and CEO of Fluor Daniel, the

engineering and construction unit of Fluor. He previously served as president

of Fluor Daniel’s Energy & Chemicals Group; Fluor Daniel’s Chemicals, Plastics

& Fibers Operating Company; and the Chemical Processes & Industrial Business

Group.

Prior to that, he served as vice president of the company’s business

unit that formed its DuPont alliance and as the functional leader of

Engineering.

"I am grateful for the significant opportunities I’ve been given during my

27 years with Fluor, and I am honored to have been selected to represent the

considerable talent that Fluor employees represent," said Boeckmann. "Our

industry is entering a renewed growth phase, and Fluor is prepared to

capitalize on the long-term up-cycle we see developing in many of the major

markets we serve."

Commenting on Carroll’s tenure, Boeckmann said, "The board and company are

grateful to Phil for his significant contributions. He has accomplished what

he came here to do. He was instrumental in redirecting the company’s strategy

and increasing its focus on clients. He led the separation of Massey Coal

from Fluor, creating significant value for shareholders of both companies.

Fluor’s improved financial performance is a result of Phil’s emphasis on

fiscal discipline and focus on serving select clients for whom Fluor can

deliver value."

Carroll, 64, has served as chairman and CEO of Fluor Corporation since

1998. Prior to joining Fluor, Carroll served 37 years with Shell Oil Company,

retiring as its president and CEO.
