Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., Saudi Aramco ink five-year extension

A newly signed agreement between Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and Saudi Aramco will extend the general engineering services (GES) offered by Jacobs until 2021.

A five-year extension was signed between the U.S. based company and Saudi Aramco, which allows the Jacobs ZATE unit to continue engineering, procurement and construction supervision services.

Saudi Aramco also drew up a separate five-year deal with KBR, part of a U.S.-based joint venture operation.

In each project, Saudi Aramco will bring attention to the significance of employing Saudi nationals, which falls in line with the Saudi government’s Vision 2030 strategic plan.
