Bechtel Nevada President and General Manager Frederick Tarantino is leaving the company in mid-July after nearly three years of service.

Tarantino accepted a position as principal associate director for nuclear weapons programs with Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, N.M.

Bechtel Nevada has about 3,000 employees and manages part of the Nevada Test Site for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. Bechtel Nevada is a partnership of three companies: San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., the world's largest engineering and construction company; Bethesda, Md.-based Lockheed Martin, an aerospace leader; and Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls, an aerospace engineering and equipment management company.
