Overview
The Shaw Group Inc. was founded in 1987 by Jim Bernhard, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, and two colleagues as a fabrication shop in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Driven by leaders with bold vision and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, the company has evolved into a diverse engineering, construction, technology, fabrication, environmental and industrial services organization with 27,000 employees in strategic locations around the world.
Throughout our rapid growth, our core values have remained constant-honesty in decision-making, personal responsibility and accountability, and leadership by example. These principles are at the heart of our ability to create and respond to market opportunities and have fueled our dramatic expansion.
