The Irving-based Fluor Corporation is opening a new European office in Bucharest, Romania. United States and Romanian government officials, industry leaders, and project partners recently joined Fluor executives and employees at the new office, located at the Avantgarde Office Building, to commemorate the event.
The new office will serve as a hub to improve the company’s capacity to deliver advanced nuclear energy projects across the region, Fluor said.
“Opening an office in Bucharest reinforces Fluor’s long-term commitment to supporting Romania as it expands access to clean, reliable nuclear power,” Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s business group president of Energy Solutions, said in a statement. “Romania has operated nuclear power plants for four decades and our work to support the expansion of nuclear baseload power will help Romania achieve its future clean energy, economic and manufacturing goals.”
U.S. officials lauded the expansion.
“The United States is committed to supporting Romania’s efforts to further develop safe, secure and sustainable nuclear power,” said Darryl Nirenberg, U.S. Ambassador to Romania. “Fluor is bringing American world-class innovation and excellence to Romania to help achieve President Trump’s goal of energy security and abundance.”
Fluor said it has already made “significant contributions” to Romania’s nuclear energy development, providing engineering, design, licensing, and project management services for two key projects: the advanced small modular reactor (SMR) project in Doicești and the expansion of the existing Cernavodă nuclear power plant.
“Bucharest offers strategic advantages for Fluor’s continued growth in the region,” said Bechelany. “Its proximity to two major nuclear projects, an experienced nuclear regulator, combined with access to a highly skilled workforce and strong academic institutions, positions us to expand our project execution capabilities and support Romania’s long-term energy goals.”
Fluor employs nearly 23,000 who provide professional and technical solutions for safe, well-executed, capital-efficient projects to clients around the world. Fluor had revenue of $15.5 billion in 2025 and is ranked 257 among the Fortune 500 companies.
