Bechtel is a global leader in engineering, construction, and project management. Our company is a great place to start—and stay. Here's why.
We're worldwide. A career at Bechtel could lead you just about anywhere in the world—and it often does. Today, we have 44,000 employees and projects in nearly 50 countries.
We've got history. Since its founding in 1898, four generations of Bechtels have steered the company through more than 22,000 projects in 140 nations. Along the way, we established a reputation for undertaking "megaprojects"-- projects too big, complex, or remote for others.
We'll give you a challenge. Bechtel has built some of the world's most impressive and important projects in modern times, including Hoover Dam, an entire city in Saudi Arabia, and the Channel Tunnel.
We know safety. Bechtel has a world-class safety program, and it pays off. Nearly 90 percent of our projects complete each year without a lost-time accident. Our philosophy is simple—every accident, and therefore every injury, is preventable.
We're what you are looking for. Whatever you're looking for in a career, you'll likely find it here. We offer a world of possibilities, from engineering to environmental, safety & health, and from procurement to project controls.
