History
Fluor began as Fluor Brothers Construction
Company and quickly built its reputation for applying innovative
methods and performing precise engineering and construction work
within the emerging petroleum industry. During the 1920s, Fluor
developed expertise in the oil and gas field in process construction.
Incorporated in 1924, the company began executing more complex
engineering and construction projects, which continue today to
be a cornerstone of Fluor's expertise.
During the 1930s, the company won contracts
in Texas, Indiana, Missouri, and Illinois that helped to establish
Fluor as a major competitor in the refinery construction field.
The 1940's war effort brought the company many opportunities
for expansion. Even as its domestic workload grew, the company
secured contracts for refineries and natural gas plants in Canada
and Venezuela. Fluor's solid reputation as a refinery engineering
firm led to the company's first Middle East assignment, in Saudi
Arabia.
In the early 1950s, Fluor began working
with the U.S. Government executing contracts in the nuclear field.
The company also contracted for U.S. Air Force work at Dhahran
Air Base, Saudi Arabia, and for refineries in Puerto Rico. More
projects followed, and Fluor designed and built plants for the
petrochemical industry in Australia, Canada, Scotland, and South
Africa. By the end of the decade, Fluor had established offices
worldwide, and was a publicly traded company on the New York
Stock Exchange. The company's reputation helped to win many energy-producing
projects.
In the 1960s, Fluor continued its international
expansion with the construction of the first refinery in South
Korea. The company also diversified into offshore drilling and
mining.
By the 1970s, the company's activities
focused heavily on the international natural resource industries.
Fluor set up subsidiaries and management organizations in Alaska,
Europe, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa. It was during
the 1970s, that Fluor completed work on the Alaskan pipeline
and constructed the world's largest offshore facility. In 1977,
the company acquired Daniel International Corporation, a leader
in establishing the design-build, single-responsibility concept
that allowed the company to deliver projects months ahead of
schedule.

Here are benefits for salaried employees:

Employees can join the SIP immediately upon being hired and are

among different contribution levels and investment funds with
varying objectives. Loans are offered through the SIP.
