Project Overview:

Mining and Metals:

Increasing production of critical minerals provides key components of clean energy technologies, from wind turbines to batteries. This shift to clean energy—and the need for commodities—is critical to underpinning the energy transition. At Bechtel, our teams extract these vital resources to support net zero in a way which is more sustainable than ever before.

Job Summary:

In this role, you will be responsible for planning, developing, coordinating and reviewing civil, structural and architectural engineering and design work for Mining and Metals projects. You will execute and coordinate complete design areas of relevant complexity, with minimal supervision, ensuring that the deliverables, models, plans, calculations, estimates and work plans comply with the scope, program, budget, project requirements, constructability, applicable codes and standards. You will also coordinate with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, other disciplines, global offices and external design houses, and provide technical direction to engineers, designers and draftsmen.

Major Responsibilities:

- Planning, developing, coordinating and reviewing CSA design work within a mid-sized engineering group, for mid-sized projects or support assignments to a global business unit.
