SYKESVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

GSE Systems, Inc. ("GSE" or "the Company") (NYSE MKT: GVP), the world leader in real-time high-fidelity simulation systems and training solutions to the power and process industries, today announced that it was recognized for outstanding work on projects by Bechtel's Nuclear, Security & Environmental global business unit (NS&E) at the Bechtel Supply Chain Recognition awards. The awards recognize subcontractors and suppliers who supported Bechtel‘s work in nuclear power, environmental clean-up, defense, and nuclear security and operations projects during 2015.

The award was presented to GSE's Chris Sorrells, Interim Chief Operating Officer, and Jay Umholtz, Vice President - Government Solutions, by Bechtel NS&E senior executives at a ceremony held on April 11, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Reston, Virginia.

"The support of our subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors is critical to the work we do. They are an essential part of our team and perform difficult work in challenging environments," said Barbara Rusinko, president of Bechtel's government services company. "These awards recognize those who met our high standards for quality and who went above and beyond for mission delivery."

Chris Sorrells said, "GSE is proud to have been recognized by one of our longstanding clients, Bechtel National, and we are pleased that we are contributing in a meaningful way to their success on a high-visibility project. This award from one of the world's most respected global engineering companies further validates the quality and value of GSE's training and simulation solutions. I thank our dedicated team for their continued hard work, focus on excellence, and emphasis on customer satisfaction."

GSE is manufacturing a Low-Activity Waste processing plant control room simulator for Bechtel NS&E at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford site. The simulator will be used to train plant operations personnel in the safe operation of the plant.

Companies were evaluated on multiple factors. They include: overall performance; the ability to deliver quality services/supplies on time; the ability to work collaboratively to meet milestones; and meeting or exceeding project expectations in aspects of safety, construction performance, technical expertise, and environmental compliance.
