The company will act as a delivery partner to manager the Airport's development plan. Work includes expanding existing terminal facilities and creating new airfield infrastructure for a further 30,000 permitted flight movements.
The five-year deal will see Bechtel work as part of an integrated team to build new facilities for up to 6.5 million passengers by 2025.
Plans include expanding the existing terminal and building a new three-storey passenger pier, seven new aircraft stands as well as a new aircraft taxi lane.
