Batch Plant / Concrete Discipline Focus





- Providing CSA field engineering support to concrete Batch Plant operations: aggregates, cement, water and admixtures control, approved concrete mix designs, batching, production and dispatch.
- Verifying concrete mix designs against project specifications; controls raw-material certificates, moisture content and batching tolerances.
- Coordinating and reviewing concrete testing and Inspection & Test Plans (ITP): slump, temperature, air content, sampling and compressive-strength cylinders, curing and acceptance criteria.
- Ensuring compliance with applicable codes/standards (ACI, ASTM) and Chilean standards (NCh 170, NCh 1934, NCh 1017, NCh 1037) and project ETs.
- Overseeing batch plant calibration, maintenance records and traceability of concrete production and pours.
- Initiating and controls Field Change Documents (FCD), RFIs and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) for concrete/batch-plant scope per Bechtel SWPPs. Coordinating with QA/QC, laboratory and subcontractors on concrete delivery, placement support and documentation.

Education and Experience Requirements:

- Required bachelor's degree in Civil/Construction Engineering or related field (or international equivalent) and 8-10 years of relevant CSA field engineering experience on EPC/EPCM projects, with concrete/batch-plant experience or 12-14 years of relevant work experience.
- Experience with concrete batch plant operations and concrete quality control on large EPC/EPCM mining, industrial or infrastructure projects; remote / high-altitude site experience (Región de Antofagasta / Minera Escondida) desirable.
