Mark Fields, group president of project execution at Fluor, spoke at the ECC Annual PerspECCtives Conference in September 2025 about avoiding disputes in large capital projects. He stated that a good contract with a clear division of responsibility is foundational, and that collaborative models with aligned incentives for both owner and contractor teams are often the most successful. Fields advocated for early intervention tools, such as regular change meetings and the use of neutral third parties to analyze issues, and said that resolving disagreements requires maturity and a fair and balanced view from both parties. He also noted that disputes often arise when one party takes on a risk it does not control. In earlier remarks from 2024, Fields discussed his career at Fluor, describing moves from the Midwest to California, then to Africa, and later to Thailand, where he worked on a refinery project that he said transformed a small village into a town with industry and employment. He encouraged young people to be flexible and willing to move to opportunities for growth and development.
